mntent: exclude trailing newline from parsed field

When the pattern was changed from matching any whitespace to just matching spaces and tabs, a newline started being appended to the value of the matched field, if that field was a string. For example, in a 4-field line, the mnt_opts field would have a newline on the end. This happened because a newline is not a space or a tab, and so was matched as part of the value before the end of the string was reached. \n should therefore be added as a character that terminates a value. This shouldn't interfere with the intention of the change to space and tab only, as it was trying to make sure that other whitespace like carriage returns, that should have been part of parsed values, were.
