Title: Add option to match only complete words, not inside words

Hi, I've added an option iedit-only-at-word-boundaries (defaulting to t) which restricts matches to be words, not only parts of words. For example, if you edit the "in" in

The king in his castle insists to go in bed.

then only the 2 words "in" are edited, but not the in-parts of king and insist. I think, that's what most users would expect, no I made it the default.

Also note that you can still edit complete parts of (lisp) symbols. For example, when marking the bar in foo-bar-baz before invoking iedit-mode, also the bar in bar-foo-baz would be edited.
