Replace the IPEX-LLM portable zip (bundling a patched ollama 0.9.3 with SYCL)
with the official ollama 0.15.6 release using the Vulkan backend for Intel GPU
acceleration. The official ollama project does not ship a SYCL backend; Vulkan
is their supported path for Intel GPUs.
- Use official ollama binary with Vulkan runner (OLLAMA_VULKAN=1)
- Strip CUDA/MLX runners from image to save space
- Add mesa-vulkan-drivers for Intel ANV Vulkan ICD
- Remove all IPEX-LLM env vars and wrapper scripts
- Simplify entrypoint to /usr/bin/ollama serve directly
- Clean up docker-compose.yml: remove IPEX build args and env vars
Tested: Intel Arc Graphics (MTL) detected, 17/17 layers offloaded to Vulkan0

The IPEX-LLM bundled start-ollama.sh hardcodes OLLAMA_HOST=127.0.0.1 and
OLLAMA_KEEP_ALIVE=10m, overriding docker-compose environment variables and
preventing external connections through Docker port mapping.
- Add custom start-ollama.sh that honours env vars with sensible defaults
- Mount it read-only into the container
- Fix LD_LIBRARY_PATH env var syntax (: -> =)
- Add .gitignore for IDE/swap/webui data files
- Update CHANGELOG and README with fix documentation

Revised `IPEXLLM_RELEASE_REPO` value and adjusted file and path references for consistency. Updated `docker-compose.yml` with refined environment variables, device mapping, restart policies, and added necessary port bindings for better functionality and maintainability.
