batched-bench : handle empty `-npl` (#8839)

* [example] batched-bench "segmentation fault"

When `llama-batched-bench` is invoked _without_ setting `-npl`, "number
of parallel prompts", it segfaults.

The segfault is caused by invoking `max_element()` on a zero-length
vector, `n_pl`

This commit addresses that by first checking to see if the number of
parallel prompts is zero, and if so sets the maximum sequence size to 1;
otherwise, sets it to the original, the result of `max_element()`.

Fixes, when running `lldb build/bin/llama-batched-bench -- -m models/Meta-Llama-3-8B.gguf`

```
