As mentioned down-thread, most of this is from psql output and I don't know that we actually want to get rid of that whitespace. Ideally, we could indicate that trailing whitespace should be preserved when printing examples, either with the SGML or the XML format.
The (relativly few) ones I include below do look like cases we should probably fix and back-patch (to simplify later back-patching efforts). Most of these only go back to 9.6 (parallel.sgml) anyway.
I'm not sure if it makes sense to merge just these, as it will not help people with whitespace-eating editors.
