Do not strip whitespaces with '*'

Stripping whitespaces there is a failed experiment as it breaks the
ability to use multi-selections consistently: Using '*' followed by some
`N` to add following matches, we end up with mismatched selections
due to whitespace stripping the original selection still contains
whitespaces where all the new ones do not. Once we get to this state,
most selection commands will give different results for the initial
selection and the other ones, breaking predictible multiselection use,
one of the cornerstones of Kakoune editing model.
