Support DeepSeek-V3.1 tool call

[Xu-Wenqing]

Purpose

Support DeepSeek-V3.1 tool call.

The tool call format of DeepSeek-V3.1 is different from DeepSeek-V3/R1:
DeepSeek-V3.1: <｜tool▁calls▁begin｜><｜tool▁call▁begin｜>tool_call_name<｜tool▁sep｜>tool_call_arguments<｜tool▁call▁end｜><｜tool▁calls▁end｜>
DeepSeek-R1/V3: <｜tool▁calls▁begin｜><｜tool▁call▁begin｜>function<｜tool▁sep｜>FUNCTION_NAME\n'json\n{"param1": "value1", "param2": "value2"}\n<｜tool▁call▁end｜><｜tool▁calls▁end｜>

So we can't use --tool-call-parser deepseek_v3 for this DeepSeek-V3.1, we need a new tool call parser "deepseek_v31"

Code Review

This pull request adds support for DeepSeek-V3.1 tool calling by introducing a new tool parser and chat template. The changes are well-structured, including documentation updates and a new Jinja template. However, the implementation of the new DeepSeekV31ToolParser contains a couple of significant issues in its streaming logic. There's an incorrect type check and a fragile method for parsing the end of a JSON argument stream, which could lead to runtime errors and incorrect parsing of tool call arguments. Addressing these issues is crucial for ensuring robust functionality.

[gemini-code-assist]

The logic to determine the end of the JSON arguments by searching for "} is not robust. It assumes a flat JSON structure where the last key-value pair is a string. This will fail for other valid JSON structures, such as those with nested objects (e.g., {"a": {"b": "c"}} which ends in }}) or non-string final values. This can lead to a ValueError from rindex or malformed JSON, causing tool call parsing to fail. A more robust parsing method should be used to handle arbitrary valid JSON.

After I added deepseekv31.tool_parser.py to the vllm v0.9.0 image following your method, it didn't take effect. Could there be an issue with my configuration?
