ignore: handle escaped trailing whitespace

The gitignore's pattern format specifies that "Trailing spaces
are ignored unless they are quoted with backslash ("\")". We do
not honor this currently and will treat a pattern "foo\ " as if
it was "foo\" only and a pattern "foo\ \ " as "foo\ \".

Fix our code to handle those special cases and add tests to avoid
regressions.
