chore: adding max_characters to other element type chunking (#1673)
This PR adds the `max_characters` (hard max) param to non-table element
chunking. Additionally updates the `num_characters` metadata to
`max_characters` to make it clearer which param we're referencing.
To test:
```
from unstructured.partition.html import partition_html
filename = "example-docs/example-10k-1p.html"
chunk_elements = partition_html(
filename,
chunking_strategy="by_title",
combine_text_under_n_chars=0,
new_after_n_chars=50,
max_characters=100,
)
for chunk in chunk_elements:
print(len(chunk.text))
# previously we were only respecting the "soft max" (default of 500) for elements other than tables
# now we should see that all the elements have text fields under 100 chars.
```
