Fix plusplus regex so ++ relates only to adjacent word

This doesn't seem right:

Likely culprit: https://github.com/github/hubot-scripts/blob/master/src/scripts/karma.coffee#L87

EDIT: Just realized I'd mislabelled this as being an issue with karma.coffee, but it's plusplus.coffee

the trouble is with names like "Herbert J. Hoover" - what's the adjacent word? I suppose we could try to allow a short list of punctuation (., spaces) but then how would you upvote "NOW! That's what I call music! 17"?

I've found through experimenting with trying to be more clever about "word" detection can, in may cases, just make it difficult to upvote weird words. Thoughts?

Oh... maybe we could have an envvar for characters to ignore from matching, but default could be to allow spaces and whatever else you think should be in default? Like I think we only want single words (and our usernames are single words), but I'd rather not fork the script for that.

Here's our use-case so far: People are often saying things like "hahaha that's totally whatever! erin++", and it used to take it as "hahaha++", but I think now its the whole sentence, if that makes sense. I'd love a way to customize for single-word plusplus'ing by default, but allowing multi-word if quotes are used. I can maybe figure out the regex for that later. coffeescript regex blocks allow easy interpolation, so I think we can figure out how to do a character blacklist :)
