Strip spaces in module names in explicit actions (#71040)

* Strip spaces in module names in explicit actions

Change:
- When an action is called like "action: copy foo=bar", strip spaces
  around the action name.
- This allows "action: copy        foo=bar" to work as expected.

Test Plan:
- New integration tests

Tickets:
- Fixes #62136
