[PATCH v4 28/41] docs: kdoc_re: prevent adding whitespaces on sub replacements

[Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@kernel.org>]

When NestedMatch is used, blank whitespaces may be placed after
substitutions. As such spaces are part of the C syntax, we can
safelly drop them, improving the quality of the output.
