maybe_serialize does not match with maybe_unserialize

[hakre]

maybe_serialize is used in conjunction with maybe_unserialize. from a logical point of view, data passed through both functions should be returned unchanged:

<?php
$data_original = ' original ';
$data = maybe_serialize($data_original);
$data = maybe_unserialize($data);

printf('Original:"%s" Processed:"%s"', $data_original, $data);
?>

the output is:
Original:" original " Processed:"original"

this example shows that data has been unecessarily manipulated.

when you look into the code you can see that maybe_serialize() trims the $data. this is of no use.

# to trim a string use trim() php function
# serialization is about arrays and objects, not strings

Patch so solve the Problem

The solution is so simple like easy. There is no need to trim string data, so here it goes.

westi can you take a look?
