I'm still of the opinion that

(1) it's very weird that this code allows for leading space on a line
but not trailing space;

(2) we need to look for other places where we have the same issue.

Possibly libpq is the only chunk of our code that's at serious risk,
since we don't change the default binary mode in the backend.  But
even if you assume that that's true, this isn't the only config file
that libpq examines.
