Here is a simple patch that seems to run on my computer, but I never
really looked at the calendar code before, so I'm not sure if this is
the right way of doing this.

The patch calls delete-trailing-whitespace for the current line when
advancing a line (via calendar-ensure-newline) and also removes the
whitespace for the last line when inserting a month into the buffer.
Removing the trailing whitespace doesn't seem to mess up the formatting,
since calendar-insert-at-column seems to be used when adding text which
fills the line with spaces in case it's needed before adding the text.
