    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.

	[BZ #15346]
	* time/getdate.c: Include ctype.h and alloca.h.
	(__getdate_r): Trim leading and trailing spaces of input.
	* time/tst-getdate.c (tests): Add tests with leading and
	trailing spaces.
