Purpose

PR #1 of #48049

Add a first-class request-level session_id to vLLM so related requests in the same conversation, agent run, or session can carry stable identity without overloading request_id or storing session identity in SamplingParams.extra_args.

This PR plumbs session_id through OpenAI-compatible request bodies, HTTP X-Session-ID, a temporary compatibility fallback from vllm_xargs["session_id"], Python engine APIs, EngineCoreRequest.session_id, internal Request.session_id, parallel sampling, beam search, and the Rust HTTP/OpenAI and engine-core client paths.

This does not add session-aware scheduling or routing policy to vLLM. It only makes stable session identity available to engine internals, KV/cache policy, schedulers, or connectors that may choose to consume it in follow-up changes.

Both the Python and Rust frontends are modified.

Test Result

Ran new unit tests added by PR.

ServingTokens (scale_out/token_in_token_out/serving.py) subclasses GenerateBaseServing but its generate(...) call does not pass session_id, while it does extract the router-injected data_parallel_rank header right above.

The tokens-in path is what routers and P/D deployments call, and routers are the primary producers of session identity, so this is the "missed path silently drops labels" case the RFC warns about.

Worth threading here (header-based, since that protocol has no session_id body field) or tracking as a follow-up.

Thanks @bongwoobak, added the session_id plumbing through the tokens-in path and a small unit test
