string: factorize skip_spaces and export it to be generally available
On the following sentence: while (*s && isspace(*s)) s++; If *s == 0, isspace() evaluates to ((_ctype[*s] & 0x20) != 0), which evaluates to ((0x08 & 0x20) != 0) which equals to 0 as well. If *s == 1, we depend on isspace() result anyway. In other words, "a char equals zero is never a space", so remove this check. Also, *s != 0 is most common case (non-null string). Fixed const return as noticed by Jan Engelhardt and James Bottomley. Fixed unnecessary extra cast on strstrip() as noticed by Jan Engelhardt.
