Add --accept-nth option to transform the output

This option can be used to replace a sed or awk in the post-processing step.

  ps -ef | fzf --multi --header-lines 1 | awk '{print $2}'
  ps -ef | fzf --multi --header-lines 1 --accept-nth 2

This may not be a very "Unix-y" thing to do, so I've always felt that fzf
shouldn't have such an option, but I've finally changed my mind because:

* fzf can be configured with a custom delimiter that is a fixed string
  or a regular expression.
* In such cases, you'd need to repeat the delimiter again in the
  post-processing step.
* Also, tools like awk or sed may interpret a regular expression
  differently, causing mismatches.

You can still use sed, cut, or awk if you prefer.
