Discard the unnecessary 'nr_spaces' variable, remove 'strlen()' and
improve the 'if' structure. Switch to pointers instead of integers
to control the loop.
Slightly more rare occurrences of 'text \ ' with a backslash
in between spaces are handled correctly. Namely, the code in
7e2e4b37 (dir: ignore trailing spaces in exclude patterns, 2014-02-09)
does not reset 'last_space' when a backslash is encountered and the above
line stays intact as a result.
Add a test at the end of t/t0008-ignores.sh to exhibit this behavior.
