[Core tokenization] add_dummy_prefix_space option to help with latest issues (#28010)

* add add_dummy_prefix_space option to slow

* checking kwargs might be better. Should be there for all spm tokenizer IMO

* nits

* fix copies

* more copied

* nits

* add prefix space

* nit

* nits

* Update src/transformers/convert_slow_tokenizer.py

* fix inti

* revert wrong styling

* fix

* nits

* style

* updates

* make sure we use slow tokenizer for conversion instead of looking for the decoder

* support llama ast well

* update llama tokenizer fast

* nits

* nits nits nits

* update the doc

* update

* update to fix tests

* skip unrelated tailing test

* Update src/transformers/convert_slow_tokenizer.py

* add proper testing

* test decode as well

* more testing

* format

* fix llama test

* Apply suggestions from code review
