git-svn: trim leading and trailing whitespaces in author name
In some cases, the svn author names might contain leading or trailing
whitespaces, leading to messages such as:
Author: user1
not defined in authors.txt
(the trailing newline leads to the line break). The user "user1" is
defined in authors.txt though, e.g.
user1 = User <user1@example.com>
Fix this by trimming the author name retreived from svn before using it
in check_author.
