Add vLLM v0.18.1 source tree with KV transfer abort fix

third_party/vllm/ now tracked in git for direct patch management.
Based on vLLM v0.18.1 release with one patch applied:

  vllm/v1/core/sched/scheduler.py:
    Replace fatal assert with graceful skip when KV transfer callback
    arrives for an already-aborted request during PD disaggregated serving.

Future vLLM modifications should be made directly in third_party/vllm/
and committed normally. The patches/ directory is kept as documentation
of what changed from upstream.
