Use typeable word for custom padding instead of zero-width space

[luftaquila]

This PR resolves #372 .

Although the issue is not always able to reproduce, I believe it is better to use a normal word instead of a specific unicode byte.

It should not affect any previous configs, including the people who were using U+200B as their padding.

Thank you!

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This PR updates the tmux Dracula configuration to support setting padding to false instead of using zero-width space characters. Changes include documentation updates and script logic to normalize the boolean value to empty strings for padding removal.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Documentation docs/CONFIG.md	Updated padding configuration guidance to use boolean false value instead of zero-width space character; removed old example and added new examples demonstrating false value assignment.
Script Logic scripts/dracula.sh	Added normalization guards to convert left_pad and right_pad from false to empty strings, preventing padding application when explicitly disabled.

Estimated code review effort

🎯 2 (Simple) | ⏱️ ~8 minutes

• Verify normalization guards are placed at the correct location in the script before pad_script construction
• Confirm that converting false to empty strings handles all edge cases and doesn't introduce unintended side effects in status bar rendering
