Upgrade 0.6 torch dependencies (#837)

## Summary

Upgrade torch and torchcodec dependencies for RHAI 3.5 compatibility

## Details

We want to release a GuideLLM container image for RHAI 3.5, supporting full multimodal testing. However, RHAI 3.5 provides torch 2.11.0 and torchcodec 0.11.0, while GuideLLM 0.6.0 requires torch 2.10 and torchcodec 0.11.

This upgrades the dependencies.

## Test Plan

Manually run the audio, image, and video workloads against Qwen/Qwen3-0.6B model (which I had running) as well as Qwen/Qwen3-VL-2B-Instruct (referenced by documentation).

- [x] uv run guidellm benchmark --target http://*.example.com --request-type audio_transcriptions --profile synchronous --max-requests 20 --data openslr/librispeech_asr --data-args "{\"name\": \"clean\", \"split\": \"test\"}" --data-column-mapper "{\"audio_column\": \"audio\"}"
- [x] uv run guidellm benchmark --target http://*.example.com --request-type chat_completions --profile synchronous --max-requests 20 --data "lmms-lab/MMBench_EN" --data-args "{\"split\": \"test\"}" --data-column-mapper '{"image_column": "image", "text_column": "question"}'
- [x] uv run guidellm benchmark --target http://*.example.com --request-type chat_completions --profile synchronous --max-requests 50 --data "lmms-lab/Video-MME" --data-args "{\"split\": \"test\"}" --data-column-mapper '{"video_column": "url"}'

In this case the results (and ultimate success) are interesting but not really the point: it does not appear that the torch/torchcodec package upgrade caused problems in GuideLLM orchestration.
