Set native MiniCPM4 model type
Companion configuration update for native MiniCPM4 support in https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/pull/47736, following the maintainers' request to update the published checkpoint configs.
This PR only sets model_type to minicpm4. All other configuration values, the existing auto_map, and every other repository file are unchanged. No weights are uploaded or modified.
The Transformers PR includes a temporary model-specific compatibility dispatcher for legacy minicpm configs. Correcting the metadata enables standard native AutoConfig loading, including the 0.5B checkpoint where this field is currently missing.
Please coordinate merging this metadata update with the availability of the corresponding native Transformers support.
