Bug#16212207 - LOAD XML INFILE PERFORMANCE WITH INDENTED

XML

DESCRIPTION
===========
LOAD XML INFILE performance becomes painfully slow if the
tags' value has any space(s) in between them. They're
usually kept intentionally for indentation purpose.

ANALYSIS
========
The extra spaces are calling clear_level() many a times
which is having overhead of clearing taglist etc. This can
be avoided altogether by skipping all such spaces.

FIX
===
Trim all the starting whitespaces from the value before
passing it to read_value()
