Code Review
This pull request updates the quickstart documentation by adding a new section for Huawei Ascend NPUs. It provides links to the vLLM Ascend hardware plugin repository and its specific installation and troubleshooting documentation. I have no feedback to provide as there were no review comments to evaluate.

Thanks for taking a look. I re-checked the failing ReadTheDocs status on this PR: it came from an earlier Since #43550 was opened first and covers the same quickstart improvement, I agree this PR is duplicate. Closing this one to keep the review focused there. |

Closing as duplicate of #43550, which was opened first and is the maintainer-preferred PR for this documentation improvement. |
Purpose
Fixes #43549.
Add an Ascend NPU installation tab to the main quickstart so users can discover the vLLM Ascend path from the same place as CUDA, ROCm, TPU, and Apple Silicon.
The entry intentionally links to the vLLM Ascend quick start instead of duplicating the full setup steps, because the Ascend instructions depend on NPU hardware, CANN/driver versions, Docker images, and source-install details that are maintained in the vLLM Ascend docs.
