common : relax sampler name matching (#23744)

* common : relax sampler name matching

Currently, in some cases, the alternative names for samplers (like
`top-k` and `min-p` instead of the canonical `top_k` and `min_p`) are
not always recognized by the `common_sampler_types_from_names` function
in `common/sampling.cpp`.

This PR changes the signature of this function to remove the `bool
allow_alt_names` flag, and removes all occurences of the flag from call
sites. Therefore, the function will now always match all known names.

I also changed the logic of the function to unconditionally check the
provided sampler names against both the canonical and alternative names,
and to be case-insensitive.

This fixes an issue I was seeing wherein samplers specified in the
`llama-server` UI were not recognized as valid when the alternative
names were used.

* add more alt names

* cont. fix

* cast to unsigned char for correctness

* common : unify sampler name mapping

* annotate canonical vs. alt sampler name mappings per @CISC

* Update common/sampling.cpp

* common : auto-generate sampler name aliases per @ngxson

* use merged map for matching

* use `.merge` instead of iterating

* nit: simplify comment

* nit: use insert everywhere, not index assignment
