Lmcache Mp

type:integration
LMCache multiprocess (MP) mode — standalone LMCache server in its own pod/process that vLLM connects to over ZMQ. Provides process isolation, no GIL contention on the inference path, one cache shared by multiple vLLM pods on the same node, and CPU-memory scaling independent of GPU memory. Covers the `LMCacheMPConnector` path (the new direction; `LMCacheConnectorV1` in-process path still works but is being upstaged), DaemonSet+Deployment K8s pattern, L1 (CPU DRAM) + L2 (NIXL POSIX / GDS / HF3FS, plain fs, mooncake_store, s3) cascade, the `lmcache/standalone:nightly` + `lmcache/vllm-openai:latest-nightly` image pair vs stock `vllm/vllm-openai`, and the production gotchas (--no-enable-prefix-caching on vLLM side, --disable-hybrid-kv-cache-manager required, vLLM/lmcache version compatibility, hybrid-model NOT supported yet, cache_salt fallback adapter bug).
