Hm, well, given that we found somebody with an embedded space so
easily, maybe trailing spaces are out there too. Also it strikes me
that we don't strip whitespace from the other fields in .pgpass,
so maybe doing it just for the password isn't so smart.

Let's just chomp \n and then \r, and be done.
