collect should ignore trailing white spaces in text

[GoogleCodeExporter]

1) Create a new form with ODK Build
2) Create a text field, give it a name, a caption AND a default value
such as "Test default value"
3) Export to xml; install this form into ODK Collect
4) In ODK Collect, start filling the form

Observed issue: when it comes to the text field, the default value has
extra blank lines and spaces at the beginning and end.

Expected: the value should be the one you inserted in ODK Build,
without any extra spaces.

I guess the cause of this is that the generated form XML has
indentation, and the default values are indented as well, but ODK
Collect takes the whole content of the xml text node, including the
blank spaces at the beginning and end, as the value.

I don't know whether some of the involved standards say that trailing
and ending spaces should be ignored; if they do, then this is a bug in
ODK Collect that doesn't trim the string; if they don't, then this is
a bug in ODK Build that shouldn't add extra spaces and linebreaks
within text nodes.

this is probably something that should be fixed in the core.
