[PR] [AINode] Add a batcher for inference [iotdb]

jtmer opened a new pull request, #16411:
URL: https://github.com/apache/iotdb/pull/16411

   ## Description
   This PR adds a Batcher for handling inference request batching.
   
   ### Integrate Batching into InferenceRequestPool
   In `_step`, requests scheduled by BasicRequestScheduler are grouped by (seq_len, max_new_tokens) to guarantee compatibility.
   Each group of requests is batched using BasicBatcher.batch_request and passed to the model’s generate method.
   Finished requests trigger post_inference and are pushed to the finished_queue.
   
   <!--
   In each section, please describe design decisions made, including:
    - Choice of algorithms
    - Behavioral aspects. What configuration values are acceptable? How are corner cases and error 
       conditions handled, such as when there are insufficient resources?
    - Class organization and design (how the logic is split between classes, inheritance, composition, 
       design patterns)
    - Method organization and design (how the logic is split between methods, parameters and return types)
    - Naming (class, method, API, configuration, HTTP endpoint, names of emitted metrics)
   -->
   
   
   <!-- It's good to describe an alternative design (or mention an alternative name) for every design 
   (or naming) decision point and compare the alternatives with the designs that you've implemented 
   (or the names you've chosen) to highlight the advantages of the chosen designs and names. -->
   
   <!-- If there was a discussion of the design of the feature implemented in this PR elsewhere 
   (e. g. a "Proposal" issue, any other issue, or a thread in the development mailing list), 
   link to that discussion from this PR description and explain what have changed in your final design 
   compared to your original proposal or the consensus version in the end of the discussion. 
   If something hasn't changed since the original discussion, you can omit a detailed discussion of 
   those aspects of the design here, perhaps apart from brief mentioning for the sake of readability 
   of this PR description. -->
   
   <!-- Some of the aspects mentioned above may be omitted for simple and small changes. -->

   ```suggestion
           Batch given requests by simply concatenating their inputs, only requests with uniformed output length can be batched.

Review Comment:
   Seems strange in the current implementation. Could u plz explain the shape of `sundial`'s output in the batched case?

Review Comment:
   This comment indicates a significant limitation that should be documented more formally. Consider adding a TODO or FIXME tag and documenting this limitation in the method's docstring to ensure future developers are aware of this constraint.
