Clean up definition formatting

[cdmgtri]

Cleaning up definition formatting across the model:

• Remove double spaces unless they appear after a period
• Remove leading spaces
• Remove trailing spaces
• Remove line breaks
• Remove tabs
• Remove most non-breaking spaces

[cdmgtri]

Review property and type definitions for line breaks and tabs. In some places, the special characters may just need to be removed; in other places it may indicate that there is content that should be moved out of the definition and into the usage info field.

ag:AdministrativeCountyFSACode

A county code of the administering county office.
The code is used within the Farm Service Agency (FSA) to identify a county, equivalent entity, or combination thereof within the United States, its possessions, and associated areas as defined within Handbook 1-CM, Exhibit 100.
Many of the code values used by are similar to County ANSI/FIPS Code, which follows the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) numeric INCITS 31-2009 and Federal Information Processing Standards Publications (FIPS Pub) 6-4 standard. The expanded even-numbered FSA codes identify counties that contain more than one office due to geographic considerations.
Specific values are documented in Handbook 1-CM.
