Message:

Login, Registration: Prevent password reset to whitespace alone.

Prevent users from using the password reset form to set their password to whitespace alone (tabs, spaces). This matches the processing used during the authentication flow, ensuring users do not inadvertently get locked out of their account.

Props antonrinas, swissspidy, voldemortensen, hellofromTonya, henry.wright, costdev.
Fixes #35500.
