This feature adds a minor mode (and global) for clean whitespaces in
current file/buffer on save.

I know that already exists the option 'auto-cleanup' in
whitespace-action that does the same, however, it just depends on the
whitespace-mode, so if i turn-off whitespace-mode auto-cleanup won't
work.

Also I know there's already a package on MELPA that does something like
this, however i think this kind of functionality must be included in
Emacs so I did my own implementation.

This patch is just a working prototype, and I want to know if there is
interest in this so I can polish it.
