Trailing double spaces at the end of a paragraph add an (extra) BR

(Via Matt Neuberg in  333377):

BlueCloth.new("I'm testing  ").to_html
#=> =====
#<p>I'm testing<br/>
#</p>

That <br/> is functionally significant (it causes extra vertical whitespace), and Perl Markdown does not generate it. BlueCloth is apparently treating the extra spaces at the end of the input string as somehow significant.

Since BlueCloth 2 is based on Discount, and this behavior is the same as Discount's, I'm not going to deviate from the Discount behavior. It's easily avoided (just #strip your strings before transforming them).
