Subject: [PATCH] Do not allow trailing/leading whitespace in mandatory fields

Reference, Value, Footprint and Datasheet all reference elements that
should not use trailing/leading whitespace or similar hidden charaters.
Other fields may utilize leading/trailing whitespace for obscure
purposes but won't break functionality as they are display only
