No link truncation in parse() function #426

Description

Description

Truncation works just fine, but the only place where I found the truncated text inside the match object was in match.buildTag().innerHTML, the link in .getAnchorText() isn't truncated.
Based on the source code, it happens because truncation is performed only inside the tagBulder, so in my case (I wanted to process matches manually, with custom safety checks) it wasn't performed at all.

Steps to reproduce

  1. const matches = Autolinker.parse("https://www.example.com/some-very-long-link/with/a/long/path", {truncate: 20});
  2. There is no truncated link inside the match object. The link inside match.buildTag().innerHTML requires substring replacement:
match.buildTag().innerHTML.replace("…", "...")
