Add support for remote LLM endpoints in deployment configs and service orchestrator.

• New Docker Compose file (compose_remote.yaml) for routing requests to a remote LLM endpoint
• Updated README with setup instructions for REMOTE_ENDPOINT and OPENAI_API_KEY

CodeTrans/docker_compose/intel/cpu/xeon/compose_remote.yaml:15

• Mapping a full URL via ${REMOTE_ENDPOINT} into LLM_SERVICE_HOST_IP can cause the host field to include a scheme and path; consider introducing a dedicated REMOTE_ENDPOINT_URL variable and parsing its host, port, and scheme, or require REMOTE_ENDPOINT to supply only the hostname.

      - LLM_SERVICE_HOST_IP=${REMOTE_ENDPOINT}

CodeTrans/docker_compose/intel/cpu/xeon/README.md:144

• The anchor link to the instructions uses #running-llm-models-deployed-on-remote-servers-with-compose_remoteyaml, but the header identifier should match the actual heading text (likely …-with-compose_remote.yaml). Update the anchor or heading to ensure the link works.

| [compose_remote.yaml](./compose_remote.yaml) | The LLM used is hosted on a remote server and an endpoint is used to access this model. Additional environment variables need to be set before running. See [instructions](#running-llm-models-deployed-on-remote-servers-with-compose_remoteyaml) below. |

CodeTrans/code_translation.py:56

• [nitpick] This function lacks a docstring describing its purpose, parameters, and return value. Consider adding a docstring similar to align_inputs for consistency and clarity.

def align_outputs(self, data, cur_node, inputs, runtime_graph, llm_parameters_dict, **kwargs):

CodeTrans/code_translation.py:69

• [nitpick] Add a docstring to explain how this generator transforms streaming LLM responses into the expected data: chunk format.

def align_generator(self, gen, **kwargs):

CodeTrans/code_translation.py:21

• There are no tests covering the new alignment methods (align_inputs, align_outputs, align_generator) or the remote service registration; consider adding unit tests to validate that inputs/outputs are correctly formatted and the remote endpoint is configured properly.

LLM_MODEL_ID = os.getenv("LLM_MODEL_ID", "mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.3")

CodeTrans/code_translation.py:69

• [nitpick] The name align_generator is somewhat ambiguous; consider renaming it to something like format_streaming_response to better convey its role in formatting streamed LLM responses.

CI tests are still failing, but appears to not be related to this PR.

• test_compose_on_gaudi.sh is erroring with starting the codetrans-gaudi-vllm-service container.
• test_compose_on_xeon.sh is erroring due to the frontend.
