addressing issue #1387 
chunking text should allow use of an external tokenizer

### Description
<!-- Describe your changes, the overall approach, the underlying design.

added pass-through of an token counting function, defaulting to the
existing _token_counter() method
while fixing a type hint bug I got sucked into making a few changes to
clean up the code.

future work would be nice to add chunk overlap functionality similar to
langchain's [TextSplitter](
