1. Allow alternative space characters as group separator when parsing nu… …

   …mbers
   
   The French group separator is `"\u202f"` (narrow non-breaking space),
   but when parsing numbers in the real world, you will most often encounter
   either a regular space character (`" "`) or a non-breaking space character
   (`"\xa0"`).
   
   The issue was partially adressed earlier in python-babel#637,
   but only to allow regular spaces instead of non-breaking spaces `"\xa0"` in
   `parse_decimal`.
   
   This commit goes further by changing both `parse_number` and `parse_decimal`
   to allow any other space character (using the `\s` character class of
   regular expressions) when the group character is itself a space character,
   but is not present in the string to parse.
   
   Unit tests are included.

2. Be more specific about which alternative space characters should work… …

   … as group symbols
   
   The `\s` character class (or the `string.isspace()` method) could match
   characters like new lines that we probably don’t want to consider as potential
   group symbols in numbers.
