sampler : remove "full-context windows" from history-based samplers (#26524)

* Resolve -1 to 1024 instead of ctx-len for samplers

Because of backend-sampling we initialize samplers before the complete
llama_context is there. Therefore, we cannot infer the resolved context
length yet at the time we construct the samplers.

* Shared default of 64 for history-based samplers, remove context_size

### Repeat Penalty

The `repeat-penalty` option helps prevent the model from generating repetitive or monotonous text. A higher value (e.g., 1.5) will penalize repetitions more strongly, while a lower value (e.g., 0.9) will be more lenient. The default value is 1.
The `repeat-last-n` option controls the number of tokens in the history to consider for penalizing repetition. A larger value will look further back in the generated text to prevent repetitions, while a smaller value will only consider recent tokens. A value of 0 disables the penalty, and a value of -1 sets the number of tokens considered equal to the context size (`ctx-size`).

The `dry-allowed-length` option sets the maximum length of repeated sequences that will not be penalized. Repetitions shorter than or equal to this length are not penalized, allowing for natural repetitions of short phrases or common words.
The `dry-penalty-last-n` option controls how many recent tokens to consider when applying the DRY penalty. A value of -1 considers the entire context. Use a positive value to limit the consideration to a specific number of recent tokens.
The `dry-penalty-last-n` option controls how many recent tokens to consider when applying the DRY penalty. A value of 0 disables the penalty. Use a positive value to limit the consideration to a specific number of recent tokens.
The `dry-sequence-breaker` option adds a single sequence breaker and can be used more than once to specify multiple sequence breakers. Sequence breakers interrupt sequence matching and break the input into parts where matching can be applied.
DRY sampling provides more nuanced control over text generation, particularly for reducing long-range repetitions and maintaining global coherence.
