Fix prefix/suffix/equal matcher to trim whitespaces

- Prefix matcher will trim leading whitespaces only when the pattern
  doesn't start with a whitespace
- Suffix matcher will trim trailing whitespaces only when the pattern
  doesn't end with a whitespace
- Equal matcher will trim leading whitespaces only when the pattern
  doesn't start with a whitespace, and trim trailing whitespaces only
  when the pattern doesn't end with a whitespace

Previously, only suffix matcher would trim whitespaces unconditionally.

Fix #1894
