[issue37344] plistlib doesn't skip whitespace in XML format detection

[Ronald Oussoren]

You can always strip the file yourself :-)

Ignoring leading whitespace for XML would be fairly invasive due to the way the code is set up. I'm not set against it, but I'm not in favour of complicating the implementation for an edge case like this.
