server: Retrieve prompt template in /props (#8337)

* server: Retrieve prompt template in /props

This PR adds the following:
- Expose the model's Jinja2 prompt template from the model in the /props endpoint.
- Change log-level from Error to Warning for warning about template mismatch.

The front-end stands a better chance of actually executing the Jinja template format correctly. Server is currently just guessing it.

Ideally this should have been inside a JSON block that expose the same key/value pairs as listed during startup in "llm_load_print_meta" function.

* Make string buffer dynamic

* Add doc and better string handling

* Using chat_template naming convention

* Use intermediate vector for string assignment

 - `user_name` - the required anti-prompt to generate the prompt in case you have specified a system prompt for all slots.
 - `default_generation_settings` - the default generation settings for the `/completion` endpoint, which has the same fields as the `generation_settings` response object from the `/completion` endpoint.

+- `chat_template` - the model's original Jinja2 prompt template
 
 - **POST** `/v1/chat/completions`: OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions API. Given a ChatML-formatted json description in `messages`, it returns the predicted completion. Both synchronous and streaming mode are supported, so scripted and interactive applications work fine. While no strong claims of compatibility with OpenAI API spec is being made, in our experience it suffices to support many apps. Only models with a [supported chat template](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/wiki/Templates-supported-by-llama_chat_apply_template) can be used optimally with this endpoint. By default, the ChatML template will be used.
