Short Description

• Added Slurm dependency example
• Added unit tests for vec-inf client and missing unit tests for vec-inf API

• Set environment variables in the generated slurm script instead of in the helper to ensure reusability
• Replaced python3.10 -m vllm.entrypoints.openai.api_server with vllm serve to support custom chat template usage
• Added additional launch options: --exclude for excluding certain nodes, --node-list for targeting a specific list of nodes, and --bind for binding additional directories
• Added remaining vLLM engine arg short-long name mappings for robustness
• Added notes in documentation to capture some gotchas and added vLLM version info
