What does this PR do?

Fixes #25422: adds a check for the combined length of prompt + max new tokens. If this total exceeds the model's max length (max_target_positions), we throw an error.

The equivalent variable for the slicing in the OAI implementation is n_ctx: https://github.com/openai/whisper/blob/c09a7ae299c4c34c5839a76380ae407e7d785914/whisper/decoding.py#L599

This corresponds to our max_target_positions:

max_target_positions (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 448):

=> I've corrected this in our implementation. Note that for the pre-trained checkpoints, we set max_length = max_target_positions, so this won't change the behaviour here.

However, it will fix the behaviour for newly initialised checkpoints, where max_length does not match max_target_positions (former defaults to 20, latter defaults to 448).
