They seem to be both useless and harmless. With or without trailing
spaces, the output is identical (tested with both mandoc and groff).
Since I added the new options by copy-pasting the existing ones and
changing the text, my patch added lines with trailing whitespace and
checkpatch.pl complained about this. Removing these spaces from just the
new lines fixes the error, but I decided to remove them from all the
lines in the file for consistency.
