fix(ci): eliminate PyTorch segfaults and enhance README with GLiNER examples

- Remove GLiNER tests from CI completely to prevent segfaults
- Add import validation instead of running PyTorch model tests
- Enhance README quick start with GLiNER and smart cascading examples
- Address Python 3.11 specific segmentation fault issues in CI
