fix: normalize hyphens in kebabcase

[eeshsaxena]

Description

This pull request:

• fixes @stdlib/string/base/kebabcase to normalize hyphens. The RE_SPECIAL regular expression omitted the hyphen, unlike the equivalent snakecase, camelcase, and constantcase implementations. As a result, inputs mixing hyphens and whitespace produced runs of hyphens: kebabcase( 'foo - bar' ) returned 'foo---bar' instead of 'foo-bar', and 'foo--bar' was left unchanged. Adding the hyphen to RE_SPECIAL makes hyphens behave as word separators and collapse consistently with the other case utilities. The non-base @stdlib/string/kebabcase delegates to this implementation, so it is fixed as well.

No.

All existing kebabcase tests still pass; added regression tests for 'foo - bar' and 'foo--bar'.
