Option to choose repeat spacing

[nekromoff]

repeat: true now does continuous text repeat.

I wanted to have a repeat with some spacing between text elements.

My workaround was to add a condition to pad the text with a non-breakable space after line 81:

if (options.repeat!=true && options.repeat>=1) {
    text=text.padStart(options.repeat, '\u00A0');
}

Now I can do space separated repeat such as:
repeat: 10 and get this (example):

This improves map clutter cause by continuous repeat, e.g. it looked like this before:

Hello @nekromoff

Thanks for reporting this issue. 🙏

In fact, even in the demo on this repository we're using a trick (some space characters) to add some spacing between repeated text, as you can see here : https://github.com/makinacorpus/Leaflet.TextPath/blob/master/docs/example.html#L57

The solution used in the demo is definitely not the prettiest one and is more of a workaround.

I like your suggestion, considering it's not breaking the current behavior and just adding some option to format the repeated text. Could you make a PR to add the feature you're using to the next version of this library ?

Will do, thanks.
