Custom tokenizer for Nemotron-Diffusion-Exp-Ministral-8B-Instruct (final-template).
Extends PreTrainedTokenizerFast with a `process_messages` method that
handles image token expansion and pixel value preprocessing, analogous
to MistralCommonBackend.apply_chat_template(return_dict=True).
Usage:
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(repo, trust_remote_code=True)
result = tokenizer.process_messages(messages)
# result["input_ids"] – (1, seq_len) with expanded image tokens
# result["pixel_values"] – (N, 3, H, W) if images present
# result["image_sizes"] – list of (H, W) tuples

Process chat messages with optional images.
Renders the chat template, expands image placeholders based on
actual image dimensions, preprocesses pixel values, and tokenizes.
Args:
messages: OpenAI-style list of message dicts.
**kwargs: forwarded to image_processing.process_messages

Returns:
