Summary
Trims the username/email address provided by the user when requesting a lost password reset. This reduces support requests from users that complain about never receiving password reset emails (because we silently - from the user perspective - dropped the request as being a bogus username/email address).
Since this is a workflow where few indicators are provided to the user (to avoid security information leakage), it seems worthwhile to handle this for the user to catch this common and easy/no-risk scenario. We know with certainty that whitespaces are never allowed at the start/end of usernames so this is safe.
