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.
