fix(qwen3_omni): preserve audio_sample_rate in kwargs restructuring

The Qwen3OmniMoeProcessor was losing the audio_sample_rate parameter
during kwargs restructuring for transformers < 4.58.0. When mm_kwargs
were reorganized into audio_kwargs and text_kwargs dictionaries, the
audio_sample_rate (passed at the top level) was not being moved into
audio_kwargs where the HuggingFace WhisperFeatureExtractor expects it.

This caused audio processing to fail with:
  Failed to apply Qwen3OmniMoeProcessor on data={'audio': [array(...)]}
  with kwargs={'audio_sample_rate': 16000, 'audio_kwargs': {}, ...}

Changes:
- Extract audio_sample_rate before kwargs restructuring
- Place it into audio_kwargs after creating nested dictionaries
- Add comprehensive unit tests for various sample rates

Tests:
Run tests with:
  source /home/$USER/uv_env/vllm/bin/activate
  cd /home/jeremyte/vllm
  pytest tests/multimodal/test_processing.py::TestQwen3OmniAudioSampleRatePreservation -v

Test coverage:
- test_audio_sample_rate_preserved_in_audio_kwargs: Core fix validation
- test_audio_sample_rate_absent_when_not_provided: Edge case handling
- test_various_audio_sample_rates_preserved: Parameterized test for
  8kHz, 16kHz, 22kHz, 24kHz, 44kHz, and 48kHz sample rates

  ========================= 8 passed in 0.15s =========================

Fixes audio tensor processing for Qwen3 Omni models when using the
raw audio path (non-embeddings mode). Resolves production issue where
audio requests were failing on SMC tier.
