Accept leading and trailing spaces in getdate input string
Fixes #15346. The POSIX description of getdate allows for extra spaces in the getdate input string. __getdate_r uses strptime internally, which works fine with extra spaces between format strings (and hence within an input string) but not with leading and trailing spaces. So we trim off the leading and trailing spaces before we pass it on to strptime.
