Automatic Whitespace Trimming for Secret Names

[lucianoliberti]

Is your improvement proposal related to a problem? Please describe.

This is a request to automatically trim leading and trailing whitespace from secret names during creation or editing. Currently, a secret name can contain a blank space, such as a trailing space, which can cause unexpected failures in CI/CD pipelines.

This issue is difficult to debug because the whitespace is not easily visible in the user interface. Automatically trimming the names of secrets would prevent these types of errors, ensuring consistent behavior and improving the reliability of CI/CD configurations. This change would reduce user frustration and eliminate a common source of build failures.

Describe the solution you'd like

This should be done in the secrethub backend service, so it covers both updates through UI and API/CLI.
