Problem

Developers sometimes unintentionally add a message with trailing whitespace. This can confuse translator community in translatewiki.net (translatewiki software adds a backslash as an indicator to not trim the message). Since trailing whitespace is never meaningful in those messages, it's safe to prohibit them.

Proposed solution

Add a test that prohibits trailing whitespace in messages (django.pot/djangojs.pot and also all other .pot files which may be added in the future).

Student is expected to send a patch for wikimedia-cz/tracker repository, hosted at Wikimedia Gerrit. When claiming task on GCI website, student should claim a respective Phabricator task as well.
