Trim whitespace before/after comma in multiple: true fields
* changelogd version: 0.1.5
* Python version: 3.10.6
* Operating System: Mac OS

### Description

When I add multiple entries to an entry for a field with `multiple: true`, if I put a space after the comma, the value for the second entry (and subsequent entries) end up being single quoted with a leading space in the entry.yaml file. Since this happens while producing the entry.yaml file, trimming the whitespace in the entry.md template doesn't help. So I'd need a config option or just have it trim the whitespace before/after the comma separated values by default. 

### What I Did

```
# entry
changelogd entry

Select message type [1]: 1
Merge Request (number only) (required): 1
Messages (separate multiple values with comma): string1, string2
Created changelog entry at /pathToRepo/changelog.d/other.56871af2.entry.yaml

# entry.yaml output example
merge_request: '1'
messages:
- string1
- ' string2'
timestamp: 1663063391
type: other
