attr_file: fix handling of directory patterns with trailing spaces
When comparing whether a path matches a directory rule, we pass the
both the path and directory name to `fnmatch` with
`GIT_ATTR_FNMATCH_DIRECTORY` being set. `fnmatch` expects the pattern to
contain no trailing directory '/', which is why we try to always strip
patterns of trailing slashes. We do not handle that case correctly
though when the pattern itself has trailing spaces, causing the match to
fail.
Fix the issue by stripping trailing spaces and tabs for a rule previous
to checking whether the pattern is a directory pattern with a trailing
'/'. This replaces the whitespace-stripping in our ignore file parsing
code, which was stripping whitespaces too late. Add a test to catch
future breakage.
