 Core: adjust the SQL generated by `BP_User_Query`'s `search_wildcard`
 parameter for better Suggestions API search results.

 Introduced in r8675, the `search_wildcard` parameter controls where
 BuddyPress places MySQL wildcard characters around the search term (when
 it's set).

 This change adjusts how the wildcard SQL is constructed; in addition to
 the wildcard, we now also check for matches that have a single space
 character at the opposite end of the string (from where the wildcard is).
 This allows searching data that looks like (for example) a surname in a
 combined first name/surname field.
 e.g. if a displayname is "Paul Gibbs", you can search for "Gi", and with
 `search_wildcard=right`, the SQL generated will be `LIKE 'Gi%' OR LIKE '%
 Gi%'`.

 See #3278
