Code Review
This pull request modifies lmcache/init.py to defer the torch import and handle potential ImportError or ModuleNotFoundError during backend initialization. This change allows the package to be used in environments without torch installed, such as for CLI-only operations. I have no feedback to provide.

lmcache/init.py imported torch at the top level, causing any import of a lmcache subpackage — including lmcache.cli — to
unconditionally require torch. This broke the lightweight lmcache-cli wheel, which ships without torch.
