Prompt previous tokens for streaming (#163)

* feat: prompt previous tokens for streaming

I used a vector pointer instead of vector itself because it gave weird errors, and why not

* convert vector to use with C api

* feat: remove old refs, check for prompt size

* feat: use better way of getting the pointer
