[PATCH 1/2] Implement parsing for new core.whitespace.* options.

From
David Symonds <dsymonds@gmail.com>

Message-ID
<11940160932021-git-send-email-dsymonds@gmail.com>
Each of the new core.whitespace.* options (enumerated below) can be set to one
of:
	* okay (default): Whitespace of this type is okay
	* warn: Whitespace of this type should be warned about
	* error: Whitespace of this type should raise an error
	* autofix: Whitespace of this type should be automatically fixed
The initial options are:
	* trailing: Whitespace at the end of a line
	* space-before-tab: SP HT sequence in the initial whitespace of a line
	* space-indent: At least 8 spaces in a row at the start of a line
Example usage:
	[core "whitespace"]
		trailing = autofix
		space-before-tab = error
		space-indent = warn
