lib/fs/fscore: do not trim content from path (#6503)
### Describe Your Changes

Trimming content which is loaded from an external pass leads to obscure
issues in case user-defined input contained trimmed chars. For example.
user-defined password "foo\n" will become "foo" while user will expect
it to contain a new line.

---
For example, a user defines a password which ends with `\n`. This often
happens when user Kubernetes secrets and manually encodes value as
base64-encoded string.

In this case vmauth configuration might look like:
```
users:
  - url_prefix:
      - http://vminsert:8480/insert/0/prometheus/api/v1/write
    name: foo
    username: foo
    password: "foobar\n"
```

vmagent configuration for this setup will use the following flags:
```
-remoteWrite.url=http://vmauth:8427/
-remoteWrite.basicAuth.passwordFile=/tmp/vmagent-password
-remoteWrite.basicAuth.username="foo"
```
Where `/tmp/vmagent-password` is a file with `foobar\n` password.

Before this change such configuration will result in `401 Unauthorized`
response received by vmagent since after file content will become
`foobar`.

---
An example with Kubernetes operator which uses a secret to reference the
same password in multiple configurations.

`Secret`:
```
apiVersion: v1
data:
  name: Zm9v # foo
  password: Zm9vYmFy # foobar\n
  username: Zm9v= # foo
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: vmuser
```


`VMUser`: 
```
apiVersion: operator.victoriametrics.com/v1beta1
kind: VMUser
metadata:
  name: vmagents
spec:
  generatePassword: false
  name: vmagents
  targetRefs:
  - crd:
      kind: VMAgent
      name: some-other-agent
      namespace: example
  username: foo
  # note - the secret above is referenced to provide password
  passwordRef:
    name: vmagent
    key: password
```

`VMAgent`:
```
apiVersion: operator.victoriametrics.com/v1beta1
kind: VMAgent
metadata:
  name: example
spec:
  selectAllByDefault: true
  scrapeInterval: 5s
  replicaCount: 1
  remoteWrite:
    - url: "http://vmauth-vmauth-example:8427/api/v1/write"
      # note - the secret above is referenced as well
      basicAuth:
        username:
          name: vmagent
          key: username
        password:
          name: vmagent
          key: password
```

</details>

Since both config target exactly the same `Secret` object it is expected
to work, but apparently the result will be `401 Unauthrized` error.
