[issue28927] bytes.fromhex should ignore all whitespace

[Nick Coghlan]

Nick Coghlan added the comment:

+1 to the above Unicode whitespace discussion - the "ASCII space -> ASCII whitespace" change is relatively straightforward to implement, and clearly beneficial given Robert's point regarding the popularity of multi-line terminal-oriented hexdump formats.

Neither of those points apply to Unicode whitespace (it would be much harder to implement, and we don't have a demonstrated use case for it), so it makes sense to avoid going that far.
