llama-cli: prevent spurious assistant token (#16202)

* tools/main: llama-cli: prevent spurious assistant token (#13402)

During prompt ingestion, prompt tokens are accepted into the sampler history (for repetition penalties). The conversation-mode path then appended `common_sampler_last(smpl)` to `assistant_ss` before any new token was sampled. At that point, "last" was a prompt-side token (e.g., an input prefix), so the assistant chat message began with an extra piece.

Fix: append to `assistant_ss` only for a newly sampled (non-EOG) token. This affects only chat message assembly (`assistant_ss` / `chat_msgs` / `common_chat_format_single`); terminal stdout is unchanged. Sampling order/logits are unchanged.

Fixes #13402.
