Pull request overview

This PR updates the CI/e2e test setup to build and test Python 3.12 wheels, switch several workflows to use configurable “test” Docker images, and adjusts parts of the autotest suite/configs to fit the new environment.

Changes:

• Update GitHub Actions workflows to build artifacts for py312, download the matching artifact name, and add docker_tag (and result_tag for benchmark) inputs for container selection/reporting.
• Adjust autotest configs/model lists and quantization model selection logic (AWQ/GPTQ/W8A8) to better align with supported models/environments.
• Modify/remove certain RESTful tests and relax/adjust a few assertions and prompt cases.

• The build matrix was switched to py312, but this workflow installs the produced wheel inside openmmlab/lmdeploy:latest-cu12.8 containers and still uses COV_PARAM pointing at a Python 3.10 site-packages path. Please confirm the container image is Python 3.12-compatible (otherwise cp312 wheel install will fail) and update COV_PARAM (or compute it dynamically) to match the runtime Python version.
