Overhaul for new version
Refactor completely, mostly for clarity of code rather than speed. Also accept a range and deal with vertical whitespace trimming intelligently based on its value.

This is a very commonly written and implemented plugin, but I wrote my own
because I could not find a plugin that did this in exactly the way I wanted:
-- Provide a `<Plug>` mapping
+- Accept an optional range
- Strip trailing lines as well as trailing spaces
-- Accurately report what was changed
+- Report what was changed, accurately
- Work with even very old Vim (>=6.0)
- Work with a single `undo`
- Don't move the cursor
- Don't change the search pattern
- Don't define an `autocmd`
-- Don't define a user command
- Don't force a key mapping
- Don't define a global function
