Highlighting trailing whitespaces

Added option `hltrailingws` for highlighting trailing whitespaces
at the end of lines. Note that it behaves in a "smart" way.
It doesn't highlight newly added (transient) trailing whitespaces
that naturally occur while typing text. It would be annoying to
see transient highlighting every time we enter a space at the end
of a line while typing.
So a newly added trailing whitespace starts being highlighting
only after the cursor moves to another line. Thus the highlighting
serves its purpose: it draws our attention to annoying sloppy
forgotten trailing whitespaces.
