[jdk19] RFR: 8281969: Bad result for javadoc snippet (//@link) tag for White space substring/regex.

Thu Jul 14 17:58:35 UTC 2022

This PR fixes how links inside a snippet treat whitespace.

During the development of the "Snippets" feature, the concern was about presentation of links that contain leading or trailing whitespace. For that reason, any such whitespace was trimmed. I think it's now reasonable to simplify code and say that any such presentation concerns should be solved with presentation tools, such as CSS.
