gdxcopy5.gms : Test GDX environment variables with trailing blanks

Description

Trailing or leading blanks in the GDX environment variables caused
the automatically translation via gdxcopy to fail. There was no indication
why the gdxcopy failed, other than a usage screen.

In GAMS we have to work hard to get a trailing blank, in shell script
this error is easily made.
