[BUG] text wrapping treats U+00A0 NO-WRAP SPACE as a regular space

[mgedmin]

• [x] I've checked docs and closed issues for possible solutions.
• [x] I can't find my issue in the FAQ.

Describe the bug

Here's a contrived example that demonstrates the issue:

from rich.console import Console
from rich.panel import Panel

console = Console()
text = 'A quick brown\N{NO-BREAK SPACE}fox jumps over the lazy dog.'
console.print(Panel(text, width=20))

It prints

╭──────────────────╮
│ A quick brown    │
│ fox jumps over   │
│ the lazy dog.    │
╰──────────────────╯

Observe how there's a line break between 'brown' and 'fox', despite the U+0020 NO-BREAK SPACE character. Apparently rich treats it like any other whitespace.

This is what I wanted to see:

╭──────────────────╮
│ A quick          │
│ brown fox jumps  │
│ over the lazy    │
│ dog.             │
╰──────────────────╯
