Source fields trimming

BDE tables do truncate any trailing spaces in field content - thus imported fields are always trimmed from trailing spaces and source fields with only spaces will be truncated to zero spaces and thus regarded as NULL.

However BDE does accept leading spaces, which might be a preference for some occasions.
Trimming leading spaces in Delimited Text Import can be deselected via the Options menu - default selection is True.
