Description
I think not duplicate of #6568 because this keeps the trailing spaces for every style edition, also this is about a doc comment.
Code:
struct Struct {
/// trailing spaces:
field: (),
}
Code remains the same after running cargo fmt, checked with rustfmt directly that on every style edition this behavior is the same.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the example with cargo fmt and rustfmt directly, comparing behavior across style editions. Trace rustfmt's handling of Rust doc comments and ensure the trailing spaces in the example are removed; the result should be verified with a regression test.
