whitespace fixes


I have some small changes to whitespacing that I'm thinking of dropping into the tree. Roughly speaking, deleting trailing whitespace and canonicalizing leading spaces into tabs and continued tabbing mid line, if there was already at least one tab.

I'd like to check them in soon as obvious, but due to the timing and size, thought I should give a heads up here first. Scream if you have any concerns.

Brief stats:

    4,781 files
    272,699 lines of diffs

I thought it would be better to do this after we forked for the next release than before. I'm thinking it would be better to do it all at once, so that people doing merges could merge to the point just before, merge it, then merge the rest, if they wanted. This should reduce the any pain for the larger merges (I know about the pain, I gotta do a merge myself).

I've audited the work in many different ways (no files with upstreams, no generated files, avoided `fixing' the backslash tests, audited most all the deleting trailing whitespace changes, audited diff -b, audited filenames by extensions or by whole name when there was no extension and so on) and should be very, very close to perfect, though it isn't inconceivable that there is a fixup that should not be. For example, a non-standard generated file that is modified.
