Note: If both command line argument and environment variable are both set for the same param, the argument will take precedence over env var.
For boolean options like `--mmap` or `--kv-offload`, the environment variable is handled as shown in this example:
- `LLAMA_ARG_MMAP=true` means enabled, other accepted values are: `1`, `on`, `enabled`
- `LLAMA_ARG_MMAP=false` means disabled, other accepted values are: `0`, `off`, `disabled`
- If `LLAMA_ARG_NO_MMAP` is present (no matter the value), it means disabling mmap
