beautifulsoup get_text kwargs in WebBaseLoader (#6591)

# beautifulsoup get_text kwargs in WebBaseLoader

- Description: this PR introduces an optional `bs_get_text_kwargs`
parameter to `WebBaseLoader` constructor. It can be used to pass kwargs
to the downstream BeautifulSoup.get_text call. The most common usage
might be to pass a custom text separator, as seen also in
`BSHTMLLoader`.
