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.
