Fix crash in greedy assisted generation with different tokenizers
Author: Sunt-ing
Pull request: yes


## What does this PR do?

Universal Assisted Generation with a greedy main model (`do_sample=False`, main and assistant on different tokenizers) crashes with a shape mismatch:

```
RuntimeError: The size of tensor a (23) must match the size of tensor b (14) at non-singleton dimension 1
```

`generate(..., do_sample=False)` with different tokenizers routes to `AssistedCandidateGeneratorDifferentTokenizers`. Its `assistant_kwargs` inherit the main model's kwargs, including a `position_ids` sized to the main tokenizer's length. The assistant re-encodes the prompt with its own tokenizer, usually to a different length, but that inherited `position_ids` is passed straight into the assistant's draft round unchanged. An absolute-position assistant (GPT-2) then crashes for any length mismatch, and a rotary assistant (Llama) crashes whenever its re-encoding is longer than the main sequence. The generator already pops the inherited `attention_mask` for this exact reason, but never the `position_ids`.

The fix drops the inherited `position_ids` before the assistant generates, right next to the existing `attention_mask` pop that handles the identical main-length-mismatch problem. The assistant then rebuilds `position_ids` from its own input. Assisted decoding stays lossless: greedy UAG output is now token-identical to plain greedy.

```python
import torch
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

def load(name):
    tok = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(name)
    model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(name, dtype=torch.float32).eval()
    if tok.pad_token_id is None:
        tok.pad_token = tok.eos_token
    return model, tok

main, main_tok = load("hf-internal-testing/tiny-random-LlamaForCausalLM")   # rotary
asst, asst_tok = load("hf-internal-testing/tiny-random-gpt2")               # absolute pos
ids = main_tok("The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog", return_tensors="pt").input_ids

kw = dict(attention_mask=torch.ones_like(ids), max_new_tokens=20,
          do_sample=False, num_beams=1, pad_token_id=main_tok.pad_token_id)
greedy = main.generate(ids, **kw)
uag = main.generate(ids, assistant_model=asst, tokenizer=main_tok,
                    assistant_tokenizer=asst_tok, **kw)
assert greedy[0].tolist() == uag[0].tolist()   # lossless
```

Before this PR:

```
main=Llama(rotary)  assistant=GPT-2(absolute pos)  -> RuntimeError: size of tensor a (23) must match b (14)
rotary assistant, re-encoding longer than main     -> RuntimeError
absolute-pos assistant, any length mismatch        -> RuntimeError
rotary assistant, re-encoding shorter than main    -> OK
```

After this PR: all of the above run, and greedy UAG output is token-identical to plain greedy across every case. Reverting the fix brings the crash back. `ruff check` and `ruff format` are clean.

- [x] I confirm that this is not a pure code agent PR.

repro please

Thanks @Cyrilvallez. The PR description already includes a repro script, but it is inside the collapsed `<details>` block titled `Reproduction (CPU, real tiny checkpoints) and before/after`, so it needs to be expanded on GitHub. Below is all the repro material I can provide.

The longer script was trying to show the controls. The minimal failing case is just this:

```python
import torch
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer


def load(name):
    tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(name)
    model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(name, dtype=torch.float32).eval()
    return model, tokenizer


main, main_tokenizer = load("hf-internal-testing/tiny-random-LlamaForCausalLM")
assistant, assistant_tokenizer = load("hf-internal-testing/tiny-random-gpt2")
input_ids = main_tokenizer("The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog", return_tensors="pt").input_ids

kwargs = dict(
    attention_mask=torch.ones_like(input_ids),
    max_new_tokens=20,
    do_sample=False,
    num_beams=1,
    pad_token_id=0,
)

greedy = main.generate(input_ids, **kwargs)
uag = main.generate(
    input_ids,
    assistant_model=assistant,
    tokenizer=main_tokenizer,
    assistant_tokenizer=assistant_tokenizer,
    **kwargs,
)
assert greedy[0].tolist() == uag[0].tolist()
```

Run with:

```bash
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES="" python repro.py
```

I reran it CPU-only on upstream main `b70d02fc72`. Main fails in the assistant draft call:

```text
RuntimeError: The size of tensor a (21) must match the size of tensor b (12) at non-singleton dimension 1
```

With this PR's `position_ids` pop applied, the same script exits successfully and the final assertion passes.
