fix(tests): resolve go vet failures and incorrect test expectations

Remove duplicate TestDecodeSentencePieceBytes (kept in edge_cases_test.go),
remove duplicate map key "<0xC3>", fix ControlChars test expectations to
match strings.Fields pre-tokenizer behavior, and add merges to
EncodeWithSpecialsAndSegments so "hello" merges to a single token.
