Add new tiebreak: 'chunk'
Favors the line with shorter matched chunk. A chunk is a set of
consecutive non-whitespace characters.

Unlike the default `length`, this new scheme works well with tabular input.

  # length prefers item #1, because the whole line is shorter,
  # chunk prefers item #2, because the matched chunk ("foo") is shorter
  fzf --height=6 --header-lines=2 --tiebreak=chunk --reverse --query=fo << "EOF"
  N | Field1 | Field2 | Field3
  - | ------ | ------ | ------
  1 | hello  | foobar | baz
  2 | world  | foo    | bazbaz
  EOF

If the input does not contain any spaces, `chunk` is equivalent to
`length`. But we're not going to set it as the default because it is
computationally more expensive.

- Not the exact solution to --tiebreak=length not taking --nth into account,
  but this should work. And the added benefit is that it works well even
  when --nth is not provided.
- Adding a bonus point to the last character of a word didn't turn out great.
  The order of the result suddenly changes when you type in the last
  character in the word producing a jarring effect.
