title: Remove whitespace from the username/email sign in form field

Strip whitespace from username/login value for user lookup As per the discussion with @psimyn, this change does not affect the frontend, so user input will not be validated on the signin screen. Instead, the value sent to the backend has leading and trailing whitespace stripped before looking up the user with find_by. Closes #42637 2018-02-13 02:21:42 -05:00			`---`
