Description
Adds truncation and padding support in parity with the fast tokenizers provided by hugging face tokenizers and transformers library.
This change adds the relevant java apis and makes it possible for users to configure truncation and padding behavior after loading their tokenizer model.
The rust APIs allow for more customization than this implementation, the python tokenizer implementation, and python transofrmer implementation allow. If users need more customization than what we provide, we can extend our api to allow it.
After this change, the next step is to add functionality to load truncation and padding behavior from the serving.properties file so that these configurations can be set during initialization. A subsequent PR will address that functionality.
