Support for different character separators

[drgomesp]

Currently if I do this:

String::humanize('land-rover');

I get Land-Rover.

Is there any way to support setting a special character modified so that it doesn't always couple to the underscore character?

@drgomesp at the moment we have this feature, but I guess we can easly improve Humanize class to support mulitiple separators and also forbiden words. Now there is only one forbidden word, id but we should allow to remove it cuz there are some cases where id is valid part of name.

@norzechowicz I made a small proof of concept of what it would look like to support multiple character separators.

Humanize.php

    public function __toString()
    {
        $humanized = trim(strtolower(preg_replace(array('/([A-Z])/', "/[{$this->separator}\\s]+/"), array('_$1', ' '), $this->text)));
        $humanized = trim(str_replace($this->forbiddenWords, "", $humanized));
        return $this->capitalize ?  ucfirst($humanized) : $humanized;
    }

And the String.php

 public static function humanize($text, $capitalize = true, $separator = Humanize::SEPARATOR_UNDERSCORE)
    {
        return (string) new Humanize($text, $capitalize, $separator);
    }

What do you think? Shall I open a PR?

@drgomesp yes, PR are more than welcome :P
