Test message and patch for DKIM bug w/spaces at the end of messages

The pdkim lib embedded into exim will not compute the body hash correctly when
one of the ending lines has spaces or tabs in them and the message was signed
with the "relaxed" canonicalization mode.

In the DKIM RFC, it states two (relevant) things (in Section 3.4.4) about
relaxed canonicalization:

1.) All whitespace at the end of a line should be omitted
2.) All empty lines at the end of a message should omitted

Because whitespace at the end of lines should be omitted, lines with only
spaces at the end of a message should be treated as empty lines and then
omitted in the same way empty lines are. In pdkim.c, the check for empty lines
is only looking for crlf-only lines, and not taking spaces into account. This
is what causes the body hash to be computed incorrectly.


I've attached a zipfile (pdkim_dkim_bodyhash.zip) to this bug report. It
includes two files:

dkim_test.txt - Test message that exhibits the bug (spaces on the
second-to-last line)
pdkim_dkim_bodyhash.patch - Patch to fix the bug


I've ran dkim_test.txt against a few different DKIM verification tools. It
passes against dkimverify, opendkim-testmsg, opendkim and others, but not when
ran through exim, nor the test_verify tool that came with pdkim's original git
repo.

With my patch applied, this message verifies. I also tested with a few other
messages received to me under normal circumstances (including a message from
Chase Bank, the first thing that made me aware of this bug--which is,
incidentally, probably the same behavior this exim-users thread was discussing:
https://lists.exim.org/lurker/message/20141108.232844.c71157d7.en.html).
