Set plugin padding
Whilst the padding is one space per default, can be whatever you want it to be, whether that's whitespace or other characters.
**If you want to remove any padding, you need to use a zero width space!**

```bash
set -g @dracula-left-pad ' ° '
set -g @dracula-right-pad ' ° '
# no padding with zero width space
set -g @dracula-left-pad '​'
set -g @dracula-right-pad '​'
```

⚠️ Potential issue

Leading / trailing-space padding is silently stripped – quote command substitutions.

get_tmux_option may legitimately return strings that start or end with spaces (e.g. ' ° ' in the docs).
Because the result of a command-substitution is subject to word-splitting, the assignment

left_pad=$(get_tmux_option "@dracula-left-pad" " ")

drops those leading / trailing blanks – they never make it into left_pad / right_pad.

- left_pad=$(get_tmux_option "@dracula-left-pad" " ")
- right_pad=$(get_tmux_option "@dracula-right-pad" " ")
+ left_pad="$(get_tmux_option "@dracula-left-pad" " ")"
+ right_pad="$(get_tmux_option "@dracula-right-pad" " ")"

Quoting preserves the exact byte sequence the user configured (including zero-width spaces).
Same issue exists anywhere we later read the option back; fixing it here is sufficient.

In scripts/dracula.sh around lines 41 to 43, the command substitutions assigning
left_pad and right_pad are unquoted, causing leading and trailing spaces to be
stripped due to word splitting. To fix this, wrap the command substitutions in
double quotes like left_pad="$(get_tmux_option "@dracula-left-pad" " ")" and
right_pad="$(get_tmux_option "@dracula-right-pad" " ")" to preserve all
whitespace exactly as returned.
