Support of `*` wildcard at the start and also at start and end #3

Hello Zhan,

This is a follow-up of the issue https://github.com/zhan-huang/js-solr-highlighter/issues/2. The release of 0.8.8 was highly appreciated and we would kindly ask you if it is possible to further extend the * wildcard support that will satisfy the following conditions:

starting with *
```
var query = '*ancer'
```
starting and ending with *
```
var query = '*anc*'
```

Is this a possibility?

I got it. I think they should not be difficult. I will come back to you in several days.

@zhan-huang can you please also make the * wildcard compatible with the case-sensitive flag provided via the options object?

We checked and concluded that with caseSensitive=false then var query = 'Cance*' and var query = 'cance*' do not return the same results.
