Subject: [PATCH] Skip leading spaces on BLS field values

The GRUB 2 blscfg command doesn't parse correctly the BLS fields if these
have extra spaces before the field values. For example, the following BLS
fragment generates a wrong menu entry due using spaces to tabulate values:

title      Fedora 28 (Twenty Eight)
version    4.16.13-300.fc28.x86_64
machine-id e5c131dfee3249cbb9891c2641d8e350
linux      /vmlinuz-4.16.13-300.fc28.x86_64
initrd     /initramfs-4.16.13-300.fc28.x86_64.img
options    root=/dev/mapper/fedora-root ro

Wrong generated menu entry:

load_video
set gfx_payload=keep
insmod gzio
linux  ($root)    /vmlinuz-4.16.13-300.fc28.x86_64    root=/dev/mapper/fedora-root ro
initrd ($root)    /initramfs-4.16.13-300.fc28.x86_64.img

Correct menu entry after the fix:

load_video
set gfx_payload=keep
insmod gzio
linux ($root)/vmlinuz-4.16.13-300.fc28.x86_64 root=/dev/mapper/fedora-root ro
initrd ($root)/initramfs-4.16.13-300.fc28.x86_64.img

Resolves: rhbz#1588184
