fix(vllm): align Intel basekit runtime (#11437)

* fix(vllm): align Intel basekit runtime

The latest vLLM XPU requirements install oneAPI 2026 runtime packages. The 2025.3.0 base image ships an older libsycl/UR loader pair and fails while importing torch with an undefined urDeviceWaitExp symbol. Use the current repository-wide 2025.3.2 Intel basekit patch level, which carries the compatible loader.

* fix(vllm): pin Intel source build to release

Build the Intel XPU backend from vLLM 0.26.0 instead of the moving main branch, and use the Triton XPU version required by that release's torch 2.12 dependency.
