Entries are always truncated if custom section includes whitespace separator (%=) #79

Hello! Since 59f96560c659a79dba941efac25ed6e20c369375, barbecue entries are always truncated because I've configured custom_section to be prefixed with %= so that it is right-aligned. This results in custom_section_length to be very large because it includes a bunch of leading spaces (the padding necessary to right-align it), effectively triggering truncation every time.

Not sure what the best way to work around this would be. After looking into the code my first idea was that it might be best to construct the complete winbar and nvim_eval_statusline() it to see if truncation needs to be applied. The winbar already rearranges items in case it overflows, so another option would be to simply not do any custom truncation at all and delegate that to Neovim.

Thanks!

Here's a screenshot to illustrate this:

The sw=2 et tw=0 to the right is my custom_section, which are right-aligned via %=.

Hi! custom_section is right aligned by default, you don't need an extra %=.
