Grammar does not enforce whitespace after : token in footers #47

As per conventional commits specification v1.0.0 §8: “Each footer MUST consist of a word token, followed by either a :<space> or <space># separator, followed by a string value.”

However, the reference grammar currently specifies:

<separator>       ::= ":" | " #"
/* missing <space>     ^^ */

This is similar to but distinct from #41. The inconsintency was pointed out in crate-ci/git-conventional#54.

* feat: Enable footer-based commit parsing

Enable defining parsers for a commit's footer, similar to the already-
present commit parsers for a commit's message or body.

For example:

```toml
commit_parsers = [
  { footer = "changelog: ignore", skip = true },
]
```

Due to an inconsistency between the conventional commits specification
and its reference parser, footers are currently interpreted as
`key:value` instead of the (correct) `key: value`. See
conventional-commits/parser#47 for details.
As a future-proof workaround, you can use `key: ?value` in the regex.

* chore: fix typo
