This does not involve a separator, and will naively chunk input text at
the appropriate boundaries in token space.
This is helpful if we have strict token length limits that we need to
strictly follow the specified chunk size, and we can't use aggressive
separators like spaces to guarantee the absence of long strings.
CharacterTextSplitter will let these strings through without splitting
them, which could cause overflow errors downstream.
Splitting at arbitrary token boundaries is not ideal but is hopefully
mitigated by having a decent overlap quantity. Also this results in
chunks which has exact number of tokens desired, instead of sometimes
overcounting if we concatenate shorter strings.
Potentially also helps with #528.
