Attempt at a temporary fix on `model_max_length` for roberta and Camembert variants
Author: Narsil
Pull request: yes
Labels: name: WIP

- The issue is that this information is not contained in the
`tokenizer` config file.
- It used to be harcoded already (with 512 value too).
- It is unclear right now how to "properly" fix it.

Comments:
No, `model_max_length` is not defined in the `tokenizer.json` for these models so truncation is off, or fails at inference in the model.

Well we also load the `transformers` specific configuration with `from_pretrained`, not only the `tokenizers` file (because We have additional attributes in `transformers`). It should be in this configuration file. I’ll take a look.

Okay, I'll wait @thomwolf for your advice on this then.
