Description

I've had users submit postal addresses with trailing whitespace simply by mistake, because they just weren't aware that they had trailing whitespace in their entry.

I can't imagine any situation in which anyone would want to have trailing whitespace in a postal address, so I propose that any trailing whitespace in the Address Editor should get stripped by default.

But I also know that postal addresses in the real world are far more complex than I could possibly imagine, so it'd most likely be a very good idea to make it very easy to disable this stripping of trailing whitespace on a case-by-case basis.
