Magento2: Customer First and Last names not being trimmed of leading and trailing spaces on save.

[spyrule]

When you create a new contact, if there is a leading or trailing space with no characters after, those are not being trimmed.

Names should be saved with no trailing/leading spaces as this breaks many search tools.

Preconditions

1. Magento 2.1.3
2. php 7
3. MySQL (hosted, not sure of the version)

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a new customer from the Customers > All Customers > Create New Customer window
2. Create First name: "John " Last name: " Doe ", add a fake email address.
3. Click save
4. Search and edit the contact "John Doe "
5. Take note that the spaces are saved in the users first and last names.

Expected result

1. First, Middle and Last names should have and leading and trailing spaces removed on save.

Actual result

1. Leading/Trailing spaces are left in the names of the customer.
