Views Filter Stripper

A simple plugin for Views to strip input of leading and trailing spaces, before passing it on for filtering as per normal.

Automatically adds a checkbox to the Views UI (see screenshot) of any string (i.e. text) filter on your site, allowing you to activate the above behaviour where desired.

This module was written because the patch suggested in #1301746: Extra spaces in exposed filters and incorrect results hadn't been applied for years. And I don't like having patched modules on my system. They're a maintenance burden.
