[BATIK-863] Leading and/or trailing spaces don't contribute to <text> bounding box

Description

When xml:space="preserve", trailing spaces should contribute to the <text> element's bounding box. However, in the following document, both <text> elements return the same bounding box:

<svg xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'
width='400' height='300' viewBox='0 0 100 100'>
<text x='10' y='10' onclick='alert(evt.target.getBBox().width)' xml:space='preserve'>a</text>
<text x='10' y='30' onclick='alert(evt.target.getBBox().width)' xml:space='preserve'>a </text>
</svg>

The same applies to leading spaces.
