Trim whitespace from spell check word length variable
Due to ambiguity in the POSIX standard, GNU and BSD versions of the `wc` utility use slightly different whitespace conventions when formatting their output [1]. When limiting the output to just counting the number of bytes (as is done by Kakoune when calculating the length of words for spell check highlighting), the BSD version of `wc -c` has some additional leading whitespace: gnu$ printf %s "test" | wc -c 4 bsd$ printf %s "test" | wc -c 4 This leading whitespace needs to be removed before defining the "region" to highlight, or `set-option` will not be able to parse the given `spell_regions` and will complain that there are "not enough elements in tuple." In other words, the region `1.21+8|Error` on Linux ends up looking like `1.21+ 8|Error` on macOS, which is invalid. Removing the whitespace could be accomplished in a number of ways, but using arithmetic expansion [2] is POSIX compliant and does not require shelling out to another process.
