Usually these values get fed to fmt_ident, which will trim any cruft anyway, but there are a few code paths which use them directly. Let's clean them up for the benefit of those callers. Furthermore, fmt_ident will look at the pre-trimmed value and decide whether to invoke ERROR_ON_NO_NAME; this check can be fooled by a name consisting only of spaces. Note that we only bother to clean up when we are pulling the information from gecos or from system files. Any other value comes from a config file, where we will have cleaned up accidental whitespace already.
