I added an optional sha512 hash to my update extension xml file, which is autogenerated for the extension update zip-file. Deploying my extension on an Update Server which is also described here: https://manual.joomla.org/docs/building-extensions/install-update/update-server/.
When there is a space and/or newline, which I unfortunately added in my xml file, the upload breaks.

Summary of Changes

Trimming of the sha512 string value (and other hashes) in the validation of the hash from the xml update file.

Testing Instructions

1. Create Update Server
2. Create a xml file with optional sha512 value of an extension install ZIP-FIle, store the value with spaces (or newline) after the tag . Just like in the description from the joomla manual.
3. E.g.

Alternative test (from @obuisard):

1 - Download the test extension https://updates.simplifyyourweb.com/free/backgroundstretch/v200/mod_backgroundstretch.zip
2 - Install on a test site.
3 - The version of the module is 2.0.0. A 2.0.1 update is available. Go to Extensions -> Update.
4 - Check for updates (the update server's xml file contains spaces like above).
5 - Try and update 'Background Stretch'.
6 - Before using this patch, the update should fail with a message like this one:
The checksum verification failed. Please make sure you are using the correct update server!
7 - Apply the PR.
8 - When trying to update, the update should go through.
