[webkit-dev] Removal of trailing whitespace

[Chris Dumez]

I am against this because it adds a lot of noise to patches I am trying to review.
I have seen PRs where white space changes account for more than half the patch I am trying to review.

Dropping trailing spaces on the lines you’re modifying is OK but in the whole file is too noisy IMO.

Chris.
