Patch version is bumped on breaking change if scope contains space

Description of the bug

If the scope mentioned in a commit message contains a space, and this commit mentions a breaking change, git-cliff bumps the patch version instead of the major version.

The space in the scope with the breaking flag are properly rendered in the changelog.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Create an initial tag 1.0.0 on a Git repo

$ git tag 1.0.0

2. Create a commit with a breaking change and a space in the commit message scope :

$ git commit --allow-empty -m 'feat(my scope)!: this is a test commit'

NB : The BREAKING CHANGE commit footer leads to the same behavior

3. Invoke git-cliff to get next bumped version :

$ git-cliff --bumped-version
1.0.1

Expected behavior

The major version is bumped (version 2.0.0 is returned by git-cliff --bumped-version)

Thanks @orhun 😺

NB : I also reproduced the bug with a minor non-breaking change, only the patch version is bumped.
