[CTAKES-178] parsing of medication strength does not verify a number was discovered (strength value includes both the dosage and strength value in some cases)

Description

for the text "aspirin 2 325mg tablet prn by mouth", a
org.apache.ctakes.typesystem.type.refsem.MedicationStrength annotation is created with
number = "2 325"
rather than with
number = "325"
The 2 should be a dosage (MedicationDosage.value)

FYI, I don't know how prevalent that pattern is so I don't know how high a priority this might be.
