Subject: [PATCH] Update install instructions for latest vLLM release (#3175)

1. Removed the `--extra-index-url https://wheels.vllm.ai/nightly` from the uv install instructions because this causes it to crash; Removing that flag solves the issue and is more stable overall. Tested with RTX 5090 CUDA 12.8 on Linux.

2. Removed `uv pip install -U triton>=3.3.1` because triton 3.3.1 is already installed with the vllm command.

-6) `transformers`
+5) `transformers`
     `transformers >= 4.53.0` breaks `unsloth` inference.  Specifically, `transformers` with `gradient_checkpointing` enabled will automatically [switch off caching](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/blob/67ddc82fbc7e52c6f42a395b4a6d278c55b77a39/src/transformers/modeling_layers.py#L52-L59).
 
     When using `unsloth` `FastLanguageModel` to `generate` directly after training with `use_cache=True`, this will result in mismatch between expected and actual outputs [here](https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth/blob/bfa6a3678e2fb8097c5ece41d095a8051f099db3/unsloth/models/llama.py#L939).
