Subject: [PATCH] Allow whitespace around `@source inline()` arg (#19461)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

## Summary

Inspired by #19460, relaxes whitespace syntax around `@source
inline(…):`

### Before

```css
/* ❌ Error: `@source` paths must be quoted. */
@source inline( "underline" );
@source inline(
  "underline"
);
```

### After

```css
/* ✅ Generates the class names as normal. */
@source inline( "underline" );
@source inline(
  "underline"
);
```

## Test plan

Added tests to `packages/tailwindcss/src/index.test.ts`.
