Reduce word spacing in quasi proportional mode (#2673)

Browse source 
* Reduce word spacing in quasi proportional mode

Currently Iosevka has word spacing that's quite a bit wider than many other quasi-proportional fonts. This change adjusts that, imo resulting in easier to read text.

I created a small preview site to demo the difference here: https://jul-sh.github.io/demo-word-spacing-iosevka/

Fixes #2656

* Make space width a seperate param with metric override field

* change space width to 7/12, update release notes
