git-svn: trim leading and trailing whitespaces in author name

tklauser · gitster · commit 4ddd4bddb1d2 · 2019-09-28T13:51:42.000+09:00
In some cases, the svn author names might contain leading or trailing
whitespaces, leading to messages such as:

  Author: user1
   not defined in authors.txt

(the trailing newline leads to the line break). The user "user1" is
defined in authors.txt though, e.g.

  user1 = User &lt;user1@example.com&gt;

Fix this by trimming the author name retreived from svn before using it
in check_author.
