Fix vLLM ROCm wheel distribution pipeline

This commit fixes critical issues in the wheel build and distribution pipeline:

## Critical Fixes

1. **Fix transitive dependency resolution**
   - Install base wheels (torch, triton) before downloading dependencies
   - Ensures pip resolves against ROCm torch, not CUDA torch from PyPI
   - Guarantees complete dependency closure
   - Modified: .github/scripts/download_dependency_wheels.py
   - Modified: .github/workflows/build-rocm-wheel.yml (Job 2)

2. **Normalize wheel versions**
   - Remove local version identifiers (+git...) from wheel filenames
   - Makes versions appear as stable releases (no --pre flag needed)
   - Created: .github/scripts/normalize_wheel_versions.py
   - Modified: .github/workflows/build-rocm-wheel.yml (Jobs 1 & 3)

3. **Switch to official vLLM releases**
   - Build from vllm-project/vllm official releases instead of fork
   - Fetch latest release tag via GitHub API
   - Modified: .github/workflows/build-rocm-wheel.yml (Job 3)

4. **Migrate to AWS S3 storage**
   - Replace GitHub Pages/Releases with S3 for unlimited storage
   - Generate PEP 503 compliant PyPI index
   - Better performance, no size limits, lower costs (~$1-5/month)
   - Created: .github/scripts/generate_s3_index.py
   - Created: .github/scripts/upload_to_s3.sh
   - Modified: .github/workflows/build-rocm-wheel.yml (Job 4)

## New Files

- .github/scripts/normalize_wheel_versions.py - Version normalization
- .github/scripts/generate_s3_index.py - PEP 503 compliant index generator
- .github/scripts/upload_to_s3.sh - S3 upload with verification
- AWS_S3_SETUP.md - Complete beginner-friendly AWS setup guide
- IMPLEMENTATION_SUMMARY.md - Comprehensive documentation

## Result

Users can now install with a single command:
  pip install vllm --index-url https://BUCKET.s3.REGION.amazonaws.com/simple/

All dependencies (including transitive) are automatically resolved.

+    This is critical because:

+    2. Install base wheels (torch, triton, torchvision, amdsmi) into it
