from ssv --aligned-columns should separate lines by character index instead of byte index (#8558)
# Description

## Symptom
Lines which are input into `from ssv --aligned-columns` are split
incorrectly of they contain utf-8 characters which have the length of
multiple bytes. Notice how the values of the `Bars` column bleeds into
the `Security` column in the following output (the big grey areas are
censored data ;) ):

## Problem
The function behind `from ssv --aligned-columns` splits lines into
fields by byte index (which is default behavior of str.get(...) in Rust)
instead of character index. If the header row has a different length in
bytes than the remaining table rows, the split is executed incorrectly.

## Solution
The function behind `from ssv --aligned-columns1 now separates lines by
character index instead of byte index. This productes the following
(correct) output (the big grey areas are censored data ;) ):
