docs(providers): expand llmman guidance and add hybrid inference (#139606)
* docs(providers): expand llmman guidance and add hybrid inference

Rewrite docs/providers/llmman.md into a full provider topic page: modes
table, auth rules, getting started, model discovery, smoke tests, vision,
configuration tabs, recipes, advanced accordions, troubleshooting.

Add a Hybrid inference section covering llmman.hybrid/<local>,<provider>/<model>
refs (qwen3.8 + openai/gpt-5.6-luna), routing rules, key handling,
x-llmman-route pinning via provider headers, and how it composes with
OpenClaw fallbacks. Document llmman.provider/... hosted refs.

Use qwen3.8 as the reference model throughout, call `llmman serve` with no
arguments everywhere (daemon settings go in its environment), and adopt the
LLMMAN_API_KEY=llmman-local / apiKey: "${LLMMAN_API_KEY}" convention.

Cross-link from local-models, local-model-services, model-providers,
infer CLI, provider index, and the models FAQ. Add the new provider index
label to the zh-CN glossary.

Verified against llmman v0.1.334 with qwen3.8: text and vision probes via
openclaw infer model run, a full tool-calling agent turn, hybrid routing
(local by default, cloud on pin or oversized body), and
chat_template_kwargs passthrough for thinking control.

* docs(llmman): correct verified runtime guidance

Clarify Qwen thinking compatibility, daemon-wide hybrid budgets, and idle service lifetime. Preserve the existing integration and live proof.

* docs(llmman): align service startup reference

Keep the shared local-service example consistent with llmman optional model preloading.
