Feature #10051: nbsp isn't remove with trim

When I have a nbsp character in a string and call strip on it, it will not remove it even though is would could as a whitespace.

E.g.

Nokogiri.HTML(" ").text.strip

results in " " and should result in ""

Currently methods of String don't deal with Unicode properties.
Possibly some gems might be available.
