Summary0015955: CMAKE-GUI creates varies with trailing blanks
DescriptionThe cmake-gui dialog to add a variable includes trailing blanks into a variable name. This can lead to a variety of issues later during configure an build step because nothing visualizes such trailing blanks.

In my case I copied cmake project setup instructions from a website. This copy&paste operation resulted in the following name inside the cmake-gui: "BOOST_ROOT ". Mind the blank after "..ROOT" ! It took a long time to figure out why configuring this project failed to find BOOS as nothing in the gui shows this trailing blank.

To make things worse, the cmake-gui remembers that a user has added "BOOST_ROOT " variable, and keeps offering this as auto-complete name in new project setup attempts.
Steps To Reproduce1) create a new crake-project with make-gui
2) click "+ add entry"
3) Enter (without the "-Quotes) this as name: "NAME_WITH_SPACE "
4) press OK

The cmake-gui shows a variable with "NAME_WITH_SPACE", but internally it is "NAME_WITH_SPACE "
