Empty field with space is recognized as timestamp #104

When importing CSV where some columns contain only space, these fields are recognized as timestamp instead of text. This is a problem with messytables detection, specifically messytables.types.DateUtilType class.

We created a simple workaround to address this issue. (I'm not sure this is ok for PR in this form)
