Fix two transformers-v5 AttributeErrors in Florence-2 remote code
transformers v5 changed two things this repo's remote code still assumes the old behavior for (see MIGRATION_GUIDE_V5.md):
forced_bos_token_idis no longer auto-set as a config instance attribute ('Modeling > Generate').Florence2LanguageConfigreadself.forced_bos_token_idassuming the old behavior.additional_special_tokenswas renamed toextra_special_tokens.Florence2Processor.__init__read the old attribute name, raising AttributeError.
Both fixes are minimal and backward compatible with transformers v4. Related: kijai/ComfyUI-Florence2#187, #199, Comfy-Org/ComfyUI#12277, Lightricks/ComfyUI-LTXVideo#394 all hit the symptom of bug 1. #119 also contains fixes for both but bundles them with a full-repo rewrite that corrupts config.json (swaps in Florence-2-base's architecture dimensions), so it's not safe to merge as-is -- this PR is scoped to just these two AttributeErrors. Supersedes #121, which fixed bug 1 alone and later had bug 2 added as a second commit; this PR bundles both from the start instead.
