fix(generation): stop beam search per-instance when heuristic satisfied (#38778)
* fix(decoding): stop beam search per-instance when heuristic satisfied
Previously, when early_stopping is set to `False`, the early-stopping heuristic only halted generation when **all** batch instances reached the criterion. This caused instances that are impossible (suggested by the heuristic) to improve keep generating, leading to inconsistent and overlong outputs across the batch.
Now we apply the heuristic **per-instance**: once a certain instance of batch has its all beams impossibe to improve, we mark that instance finished while letting others continue. This restores expected behavior and ensures consistency in batched generation.
* Add test case GenerationIntegrationTests.test_beam_search_early_stop_heuristic
* Update naming improvement_possibility -> is_early_stop_heuristic_unsatisfied
* Add comments for early stop heuristic
* Update src/transformers/generation/utils.py
