[examples/summarization] deal with max_length and num_beams (#21740)

* Override the decoding parameters of Seq2SeqTrainer

* Fix quality

* Fix max_length parameter

* Fix quality

* Remove redundant parameter max_length

* Separate the preprocess of train and validation to use different max_target_length
