common : move up common_init() and fix Windows UTF-8 logs (#21176)
The build info is now only for debug, so we avoid the duplicate
with `--version`.

The UTF-8 setup at the beginning is needed to avoid logging
garbage on Windows.

Simplified simulation of serving incoming requests in parallel

Example

Generate 128 client requests (-ns 128), simulating 8 concurrent clients (-np 8). The system prompt is shared (-pps), meaning that it is computed once at the start. The client requests consist of up to 10 junk questions (--junk 10) followed by the actual question.

llama-parallel -m model.gguf -np 8 -ns 128 --top-k 1 -pps --junk 10 -c 16384

[!NOTE] It's recommended to use base models with this example. Instruction tuned models might not be able to properly follow the custom chat template specified here, so the results might not be as expected.
