[PATCH v2] ref-filter: trim end whitespace in subject

[DOAN Tran Cong Danh <congdanhqx@gmail.com>]

From: ĐOÀN Trần Công Danh <congdanhqx@gmail.com>

Commit 949af0684 ("branch: use ref-filter printing APIs", 2017-01-10)
make `git branch -v` stops trimming end-whitespace in subject,
and it stops treating next all-whitespace-line as an empty line.

Quote from git mailing-list:

> Here is a recipe to reproduce the error:
>
>    git init
>    git commit --allow-empty -m initial
>    git branch crlf $(printf '%s\r\n' subject '' line3_long line4 |
>        git commit-tree HEAD:)
> The reason for the "bug" is obviously that a line having CR in addition
> to LF is not "an empty line". Consequently, the second line is not
> treated as a separator between subject and body, whereupon Git
> concatenates all line into one large subject line. This strips the LFs
> but leaves the CRS in tact, which, when printed on a terminal move the
> cursor to the beginning of the line, so that text after the CRs
> overwrites what is already in the terminal.

To recover previous behavior, trim all whitespace at the end of
first line, and treat all-white-space line as empty line
