llama_sampling_sample with default args is more naively usable

* Batches populated by either llama_batch_get_one or llama_batch_add work with default args
  * Previously get_one could use the default argument
  * Previously add should usually have used the last index where logits[idx] == true
* This hopefully encourages the use of llama_batch_add
  * By giving expected results when using default arguments.
* Adds "negative indexing" feature to llama_get_logits_ith and llama_get_embeddings_ith
* Believed to work with any currently well behaved program
  * Default arg now works for both cases (previously would give strange results for add case)
  * Any non-negative number is unaffected and behaves as previously
  * Negative arguments were previously invalid.
* Implemented as a special case of indexing as suggested by @compilade in #6519
