gliner>=0.2.23 breaks HuggingFace Inference Endpoints (transformers 5.x incompatible with HF toolkit)

[achpalaman]

Problem
Starting with v0.2.23, GLiNER requires transformers>=4.57.3, which pulls in transformers 5.x. This breaks deployment on HuggingFace Inference Endpoints.

Root Cause
HF Inference Endpoints use huggingface-inference-toolkit, which has a hard dependency on transformers==4.51.3. The toolkit imports from transformers.file_utils:
from transformers.file_utils import is_tf_available, is_torch_available

In transformers 5.0, these were moved to transformers.utils, causing an ImportError before any custom handler code runs.

@achpalaman , GLiNER should work with transformers version 4.51.3, in the next GLiNER release, this version conditioning will be updated. For now, you can set constraints on dependency versions during your package installation.
