Functional impact

When toggling on the “ignore whitespace” setting for the ciphertext, whitespace characters are removed before analysis.
For all data encodings, the data is first decoded to a Uint8Array and then converted to a string, thus producing a Latin-1 (ISO/IEC 8859-1) string (8-bit "extended" ASCII table). This step takes place before the ignore whitespace setting is applied.
