server: add logprobs and top_logprobs support to Ollama's API (#12899)

Adds logprobs support to Ollama's API including support for Ollama's
OpenAI-compatible API. By specifying the new 'logprobs' boolean parameter
in the API, Ollama will return the log probabilities for each token generated.
'top_logprobs', an integer value can also be specified up to the value 20.
When specified, the API will also provide the number of most likely tokens to
return at each token position
