When you paste something like "\thttp://example.com " (a tab, then a URL, then a space) into the link inspector, we should do something so we don't end up trying to create an internal link whose target starts with a tab, because that will upset Parsoid (see T93045).
I'm not quite sure what we should do here. Automagically trim whitespace somehow?

Trim whitespace from link targets

Don't use a inputFilter on LinTargetInputWidget
Roan's fix introduces a worse bug which is that spaces get stripped as soon as they are typed, so you can't type "Main Page" for example. The commit above fixes that.

Good thing we fixed the horrible breakage (for which we had T95646 filed in the meantime), but in the process we regressed the fix. in VE-MW, pasting http://example.com/ (with spaces) into the link inspector will result in red, internal link, starting with a space and ending with a space.
