[PATCH 1/2] strbuf: Use _rtrim and _ltrim in strbuf_trim

[Brian Gesiak]

strbuf_trim strips whitespace from the end, then the beginning of a
strbuf. Those operations are duplicated in strbuf_rtrim and
strbuf_ltrim.

Replace strbuf_trim implementation with calls to strbuf_rtrim,
then strbuf_ltrim.

This is tangential to my GSoC project; I noticed the duplication
and thought it could be remedied.

[PATCH 2/2] api-strbuf.txt: Add docs for _trim and _ltrim

[Brian Gesiak]

API documentation for strbuf does not document strbuf_trim or
strbuf_ltrim. Add documentation for these two functions.

Thanks, this looks good. I wondered if perhaps doing them together
inline might have been more efficient, but there really is no overlap in
what they compute.

The documentation patch looks good to me, too.
