Trailing whitespace in the value of a property is hard to identify in failure analysis descriptions

See original GitHub issue

I think we should quote or somehow delimit the value that’s output in the failure analysis. It looks like this at the moment:

Property: spring.servlet.multipart.file-size-threshold
Value: 2KB 
Origin: class path resource [application.properties]:24:46
Reason: failed to convert java.lang.String to org.springframework.util.unit.DataSize

I think something like this would be better:

Property: spring.servlet.multipart.file-size-threshold
Value: "2KB "
Origin: class path resource [application.properties]:24:46
Reason: failed to convert java.lang.String to org.springframework.util.unit.DataSize
