[Bug] `tokenizer.model_max_length` is different when loading model from shortcut or local path
## To reproduce

When loading model from local path, the `tokenizer.model_max_length` is `VERY_LARGE_INTEGER`:
```py
from transformers import GPT2Tokenizer

tokenizer = GPT2Tokenizer.from_pretrained("gpt2")
print(tokenizer.model_max_length)
# 1024

tokenizer = GPT2Tokenizer.from_pretrained("path/to/local/gpt2")
print(tokenizer.model_max_length)
# 1000000000000000019884624838656
```

## Expected behavior

Assign correct `model_max_length` when loading model from local path:
```py
from transformers import GPT2Tokenizer

tokenizer = GPT2Tokenizer.from_pretrained("path/to/local/gpt2")
print(tokenizer.model_max_length)
# 1024
```

I've also encountered the same problem specially obvious working on clusters having no internet access. The problem stems from the fact that other than the string passed to the `from_pretrained`, there really is no good way right now of knowing what model is in the folder. I thought `model_type` might help but that's not the case.

Which means as a quick fix,  we can resort to a solution that works in "many" cases.

So the key bit of code that is skipped if path to the model folder is different is this:

https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/blob/25156eb296ae88c7b810235a368c953b7a4b9af9/src/transformers/tokenization_utils_base.py#L1858-L1864

If modified to rely on the heuristic that most configs, if available, do have either `max_position_embeddings` or `n_positions`, it solves the problem for those models (and doesn't hurt those who dont):

```python

try:
    config
except NameError:
    config = None

# Set max length if needed
if pretrained_model_name_or_path in cls.max_model_input_sizes:
    model_max_length = cls.max_model_input_sizes[pretrained_model_name_or_path]
    if model_max_length is not None and isinstance(model_max_length, (int, float)):
        init_kwargs["model_max_length"] = min(init_kwargs.get("model_max_length", int(1e30)), model_max_length)

elif hasattr(config, "max_position_embeddings") or hasattr(config, "n_positions"):
    model_max_length = config.n_positions if hasattr(config, "n_positions") else config.max_position_embeddings
    if model_max_length is not None and isinstance(model_max_length, (int, float)):
        init_kwargs["model_max_length"] = min(init_kwargs.get("model_max_length", int(1e30)), model_max_length)
```

Another way is to raise a warning if its not found:

```python
# Set max length if needed
if pretrained_model_name_or_path in cls.max_model_input_sizes:
    model_max_length = cls.max_model_input_sizes[pretrained_model_name_or_path]
    if model_max_length is not None and isinstance(model_max_length, (int, float)):
        init_kwargs["model_max_length"] = min(init_kwargs.get("model_max_length", int(1e30)), model_max_length)
else:
    # raise warning about passing the `model_max_length`
```

This option has the downside that people will need to look into the `config.json` itself or try to find it somehow which may not be immediately obivous.<|||||>@SaulLu, could you take a look at this issue?<|||||>Thank you very much for this detailed issue! Indeed, I completely understand that this behavior is not satisfactory.

We added a new feature some time ago that saves the tokenizer type in the `tokenizer_config.json` file in the `tokenizer_class` key. This new key allows retrieving the value of `model_max_length`. The problem you are experiencing is related to the fact that the `tokenizer_config` file of gpt2 was created before this feature existed.

While waiting for me to come back to you with a more satisfactory solution, I advise you to load the GPT2 tokenizer then save it in a local folder and use these local files for the tokenizer you want to use locally. 

```python
from transformers import GPT2TokenizerFast

tokenizer = GPT2TokenizerFast.from_pretrained("gpt2")
tokenizer.save_pretrained("gpt2_tokenizer_fixed")
```
```python
from transformers import GPT2Tokenizer

tokenizer = GPT2Tokenizer.from_pretrained("gpt2_tokenizer_fixed")
print(tokenizer.model_max_length)
# 1024
```

You can even push it to your account on HF if you prefer to retrieve it easily with `.from_pretrained` :blush: .
```python
tokenizer = GPT2TokenizerFast.from_pretrained("gpt2")
tokenizer.push_to_hub("SaulLu/gpt2_tokenizer_fixed") # with your HF username

tokenizer = GPT2Tokenizer.from_pretrained("SaulLu/gpt2_tokenizer_fixed")
print(tokenizer.model_max_length)
# 1024
```

In my case I used the legal-bert tokenizer but customized the model_max_length:
`tokenizer = BertTokenizer.from_pretrained('nlpaueb/legal-bert-base-uncased')`
`tokenizer.model_max_length=512`
but this attr won't be saved when calling the `save_pretrained` function, when I load the model from my local directory, the model length will still be the original value<|||||>I understand that this is not ideal. At the moment, if you want this to be saved in the `tokenizer_config.json` you need to pass the argument in the `from_pretrained` method:
```python
tokenizer = BertTokenizer.from_pretrained('nlpaueb/legal-bert-base-uncased', model_max_length=512)
```<|||||>This issue still persists.
Downloaded files from https://huggingface.co/bert-base-multilingual-cased/tree/main and tried to create tokenizer using from_pretrained from local files
