Update pipeline word heuristic to work with whitespace in token offsets
Author: davidbenton
Pull request: yes

# What does this PR do?

This change checks for whitespace in the input string at either the
character preceding the token or in the first character of the token.
This works with tokenizers that return offsets excluding whitespace
between words or with offsets including whitespace.

Fixes #18111

_The documentation is not available anymore as the PR was closed or merged._

The tests failures seem to have nothing to do with this PR.

@LysandreJik @ydshieh  maybe ?

@LysandreJik @ydshieh @Narsil I think the test failures are because I set up CircleCI to track my fork, just to see if the tests would pass there. I didn't expect it to show here on the upstream project PR, but I think that might be what we're seeing. I've disabled that for any future commits.

I'm guessing failures on a hosted, free CircleCI project are expected, right? Sorry for the CI spam.

Probably yes: I saw you have `Docker / [Docker Medium]` while `transformers` uses `Docker / [Docker X-Large]`.

Now we have to make the tests run under Hugging Face's CircleCI plan 😄 


Ugh, so that stopped the HF circleci from firing? I can add a "maybe this time" commit, as is traditional with CI workflows...

Ok all that's left before merging is a final approval from a core maintainer.

@sgugger maybe ?
