display-line-numbers-mode does not respect line-prefix or wrap-prefix text properties when set as '(space :align-to N).

To reproduce:

1. emacs -Q
3. type some text in *scratch* buffer
2. M-: (put-text-property (line-beginning-position) (line-end-position) 'line-prefix '(space :align-to 2))
3. M-x display-line-numbers-mode

Expected results:

Line numbers should be displayed before line-prefix (and/or wrap-prefix) space of 2 columns.

Actual results:

Line numbers eat the line-prefix and wrap-prefix space, effectively aligning the text back to 0.

Configuration:
