Add a dedicated padding token to beam search to avoid padding with the start sentence token

[laxmareddyp]

Description

So far, the beam search module pads its predictions using the initial token ids, it is more modular and easy to use to have the capacity to specify the padding token. By default this padding token should be zero and not the initial token id.
