feat!: support to customize tokenizer (#2992)

users can customize the tokenizer:
- language
- remove long words
- lower case
- stem
- remove stop words
- ascii folding
solve #2996

This introduces a breaking change: we used `en_stem` as default
tokenizer before, which stems the words, but this PR switches the
default tokenizer to be without stemming
