Refactor: Improve block allocation and expert string parsing

This commit refactors the DisTorch safetensor loading and allocation logic for improved performance and correctness.

The main changes to the block assignment are:
- The primary compute device is now included in the pool of "donor" devices, allowing for more holistic memory quota calculation across all available GPUs.
- Unassigned "orphan" blocks are now allocated to the compute device instead of the CPU. This keeps more of the model in VRAM, reducing potential bottlenecks.

Additionally, this commit:
- Fixes a bug in the byte expert string parser where the wildcard `*` was incorrectly checked in the device name instead of the value.
- Standardizes variable names like `allocations_string` for better code clarity and consistency.
