dorado basecaller crashes when alias in samplesheet.csv contains a trailing whitespace

dorado basecaller crashes when alias in samplesheet.csv contains a trailing whitespace:

+ dorado basecaller sup,5mCG_5hmCG <..> --sample-sheet samplesheet.csv<..>

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
  what():  alias 'XX-Other-123 ' is not a valid string (at most 40 alphanumerical 
  characters including '-' and '_')
7559 Aborted                 (core dumped) dorado basecaller <..>

The csv parser should remove any leading/trailing whitespaces (--lenient_csv) or should give a descriptive error message (--strict_csv) .. :-)

Hi @sklages,

Thanks for reporting this. We can certainly try to make this more forgiving and/or fail in a cleaner manner in a future release.
