[Model] Add support for Nanbeige4.2

[zqlcode]

Purpose

Add day-0 / native vLLM support for Nanbeige 4.2 (NanbeigeForCausalLM):

• Model implementation + config registration
• Register nanbeige aliases for tool-call / reasoning parsers
  (reuse qwen3_coder / qwen3 implementations)

Model / weights: (https://huggingface.co/Nanbeige/Nanbeige4.2-3B)

Impact

Area	Files	What changed
Model	vllm/model_executor/models/nanbeige.py	New NanbeigeForCausalLM implementation
Model registry	vllm/model_executor/models/registry.py	Register NanbeigeForCausalLM
Config	vllm/transformers_utils/configs/nanbeige.py	New NanbeigeConfig
Config registry	vllm/transformers_utils/config.py, configs/__init__.py	Map model_type=nanbeige → NanbeigeConfig
Tool parser alias	vllm/tool_parsers/__init__.py	nanbeige → existing Qwen3EngineToolParser
Reasoning parser alias	vllm/reasoning/__init__.py	nanbeige → existing Qwen3ParserReasoningAdapter

This PR only adds Nanbeige model registration and parser aliases. It does not change any shared serving/inference logic or behavior of existing models.

Test Plan

• Command:

vllm serve Nanbeige/Nanbeige4.2-3B \
    --host 0.0.0.0 \
    --port 9000 \
    --tensor-parallel-size 1 \
    --gpu-memory-utilization 0.8  \
    --enable-auto-tool-choice \
    --tool-call-parser nanbeige \
    --reasoning-parser nanbeige

Is Transformers backend not good enough to serve the model? It should have performance that is on-par with native vLLM in most cases already. cc @hmellor

Please see https://docs.vllm.ai/en/latest/models/supported_models/#transformers for guidance on how to make sure your model is Transformers backend compatible.

It should require minimal changes to the custom code in the checkpoint, then we can add a one line registry entry in vLLM that points NanbeigeForCausalLM -> TransformersForCausalLM

Thanks @hmellor @DarkLight1337 for the suggestion.

We looked into the Transformers modeling backend, but it doesn’t currently support Nanbeige’s num_loops>1 architecture: attention/KV is keyed only by physical layer_idx (attention_instances[module.layer_idx]), while Nanbeige needs a separate KV cache per loop (loop_idx * num_hidden_layers + layer_idx).

So we’d like to keep the native NanbeigeForCausalLM implementation in this PR.

we've implemented Nanbeige4.2 via the Transformers modeling backend.
