FS#12996 - path_trim_whitespace() shouldn't trim the start of a filename

Filenames can legally start with space characters. This was supported before 7d1a47cf. The new path_trim_whitespace() trims both the start and end of filenames.

Function was removed anyway and old behavior restored in 5c6ccb4.

I know they can but does this even make sense. Is playlist parsing supposed to include leading whitespace? That’s the only code using it for now but other stuff can be put together to support alternatives. What about quoted paths?

VLC does eat the whitespace at the start and end of the line while WMP only eats the trailing ones. Does “legally” refer to M3U specifically (not legal FS paths in particular)?

path_trim_whitespace() isn’t only called for m3u files. It’s called for any file you try to add to the playlist, a.k.a. any file you try to play.

I’m considering something else that only trims, changes separators or strips drive letters for parsing a cuesheet but makes no modification to paths given from internal sources like the file browser.
