jgmdev b0c005a5ac syntax: remove pattern re-ordering on optimization
* Introduces a flag that syntax writers can turn off named
  space_handling, turning it off means that your syntax will take care
  of handling the excessive amount of spaces that can slow down the
  tokenizer.
* Adds another pattern at the end of every single table that also
  improves tokenizer performance by matching words that weren't match by
  any of the synxtax patterns.
* Modifies language_md to turn off the provided space_handling and do its
  own since it has rules that require a space at the beginning, also
  handles long consecutives amount of dashes used in tables that degrade
  performance.
* This changes where discussed in collaboration with @Guldoman and
  @takase1121 thanks to all!
