The war on trailing whitespace

This doesn't do the "strip-then-apply" thing, but it allows you to make git-apply generate a warning or error on extraneous whitespace. Use --whitespace=warn to warn, and (surprise, surprise) --whitespace=error to make it a fatal error to have whitespace at the end. Totally untested, of course. But it compiles, so it must be fine. HOWEVER! Note that this literally will check every single patch-line with "+" at the beginning. Which means that if you fix a simple typo, and the line had a space at the end before, and you didn't remove it, that's still considered a "new line with whitespace at the end", even though obviously the line wasn't really new. I assume this is what you wanted, and there isn't really any sane alternatives (you could make the warning activate only for _pure_ additions with no deletions at all in that hunk, but that sounds a bit insane).
