Refactor preprocessing.py:preprocess(input_string,preprocessing_steps,remove_punctuation,remove_stopwords)

[thalesbertaglia]

I've selected preprocessing.py:preprocess(input_string,preprocessing_steps,remove_punctuation,remove_stopwords) for refactoring, which is a unit of 9 lines of code and 4 parameters. Addressing this will make our codebase more maintainable and improve Better Code Hub's Keep Unit Interfaces Small guideline rating! 👍

Here's the gist of this guideline:

• Definition 📖
  Limit the number of parameters per unit to at most 4.
• Why❓
  Keeping the number of parameters low makes units easier to understand, test and reuse.
• How 🔧
  Reduce the number of parameters by grouping related parameters into objects. Alternatively, try extracting parts of units that require fewer parameters.
