Fix model info cache for package models

[soaringk]

Purpose

Fix model-info cache invalidation for package-style model registrations.

Some registered model entries point to a package entry point that re-exports
classes implemented in submodules. If the cache key only covers the package
__init__.py, changes in those implementation submodules may not invalidate
cached model capability metadata.

This was found while reviewing the MiniMax-M3 PP work in #45810, where the
model is registered through vllm.models.minimax_m3 but implemented under
platform-specific submodules.

Changes

• Include package .py files in the model-info cache key when the registered
  model module resolves to __init__.py.
• Keep single-file registered models on the existing single-file cache path.
• Add a regression test that changes a package submodule and verifies the
  model-info hash changes.

Test plan

• git diff --check
• Added test_lazy_modelinfo_package_hash_includes_submodules

Focused pytest was not run locally because this checkout did not have an
initialized vLLM test environment with pytest.

@hmellor @ProExpertProg Hi, could you please review this small model registry cache fix when you have a chance?

The issue is that package-style model registrations can re-export classes from submodules, but the current model-info cache key only tracks the package __init__.py, so cached capability metadata can become stale when the implementation files change. Found at #45810

[soaringk]

Friendly ping @hmellor @ProExpertProg . This is small model registry cache fix. Found at #45810 . Any review will be appreciated.

[hmellor]

LGTM, thanks for fixing this for the new hardware specific models

@hmellor The Buildkite failure looks unrelated: language-models-tests-hybrid-2 hit a Hugging Face 429 rate limit while fetching Zamba2 model files. Could you rerun the failed job when you have a chance?

[hmellor]

Done, I made a fix last week which should fix the 429 issues but it will take some time to propagate to all open PRs. For now we can manually rerun when we see them
