Feature Suggestion: Trim Leading whitespace

• VSCode Version: 1.21
• OS Version: Windows 7

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Press Ctrl + Shift + P
2. Trim Leading whitespace

VS code already has Trim Trailing white-space. It would be nice to extend this feature for removing Leading white-space.

Notepad++ currently supports this feature.

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes/No

We try to keep VS Code lean and we think the functionality you're asking for is great for a VS Code extension. Maybe you can already find one that suits you in the VS Code Marketplace. Just in case, in a few simple steps you can get started writing your own extension. See also our issue reporting guidelines.

Happy Coding!
