André Goddard Rosa e7d2860b69 tree-wide: convert open calls to remove spaces to skip_spaces() lib function
Makes use of skip_spaces() defined in lib/string.c for removing leading
spaces from strings all over the tree.

It decreases lib.a code size by 47 bytes and reuses the function tree-wide:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
  64688     584     592   65864   10148 (TOTALS-BEFORE)
  64641     584     592   65817   10119 (TOTALS-AFTER)

Also, while at it, if we see (*str && isspace(*str)), we can be sure to
remove the first condition (*str) as the second one (isspace(*str)) also
evaluates to 0 whenever *str == 0, making it redundant. In other words,
"a char equals zero is never a space".

Julia Lawall tried the semantic patch (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr) below,
and found occurrences of this pattern on 3 more files:
    drivers/leds/led-class.c
    drivers/leds/ledtrig-timer.c
    drivers/video/output.c

@@
expression str;

( // ignore skip_spaces cases
while (*str &&  isspace(*str)) { \(str++;\|++str;\) }
|
- *str &&
isspace(*str)
)
