Improve tokenizer loading fallback in bash/run.py

- Check whether the local tokenizer path actually exists before trying to load.
- Log clear warnings when local path is missing or fails.
- Respect USE_MODELSCOPE_HUB when falling back to remote model hub.
- Raise a descriptive RuntimeError instead of silently retrying HuggingFace
  and hanging on network-unreachable errors.
