Bind UUIDs to content size when hash factors exist.

When has_hash_factors is true, execution takes the branch before Line 109. That branch hashes the UUID and configuration but omits mm_content_size. Two differently sized items with the same UUID and identical options then get the same cache key. This can reuse stale features and preserve the merge failure this change must prevent.

For every non-None UUID, include mm_content_size when it is available, together with hash_factors. Keep the raw UUID fallback only when no discriminator and no hash factors exist. Add a regression test with identical non-empty options and different item sizes.

In `@vllm/multimodal/processing/inputs.py` at line 109, Update the UUID cache-key
construction around data_items.get_item_content_size so every non-None UUID
includes the available mm_content_size whenever hash_factors exist, alongside
the UUID and configuration factors. Retain the raw UUID fallback only when
neither a discriminator nor hash_factors is present, and add a regression test
covering identical non-empty options with different item sizes.

This fix makes sense. But since the client is responsible for generating correct UUIDs, I prefer loudly rejecting the request by raising a validation error rather than silently changing the UUID

hashes.append(
hasher.hash_kwargs(
hash_algorithm,
model_id=model_id,
modality=modality,
mm_uuid=uuid_item,
mm_content_size=content_size,
)
)
else:
# If there are no extra kwargs, use the client-provided UUID.
hashes.append(uuid_item)

mm_hashes[modality] = hashes
