Refactor the NotEmpty rule

Since we have the ability to use `not` as a prefix, having rules that
validate negative behaviour makes them a bit inflexible, verbose, and
harder to understand.

This commit will refactor the `NotEmpty`, and rename it to `Falsy`. It
will no longer trim strings, because Blank does a much better job at it;
it only simulates the behaviour of PHP’s native `empty()` function.

Because `Falsy`, `Blank`, and `Undef` have similar behaviour, I created
a page to demonstrate the difference and show when the user should use
one or the other.

Spaced

Spaced()

Validates if a string contains at least one whitespace (spaces, tabs, or line breaks);

v::spaced()->isValid('foo bar'); // true
v::spaced()->isValid("foo\nbar"); // true

This is most useful when inverting the validator as notSpaced(), and chaining with other validators such as Alnum or Alpha to ensure that a string contains no whitespace characters:

v::notSpaced()->alnum()->isValid('username'); // true
v::notSpaced()->alnum()->isValid('user name'); // false
