When autofixing multiline self-closing tags (e.g. `<img\n />`), the rule was stripping the indentation whitespace before `/>`, causing the resulting `>` to appear at column 0. This introduces an `isIndentation` helper that detects when a trailing whitespace node represents indentation (i.e. it follows a newline sibling) and preserves it during the fix.

Awesome, thanks for this great catch @fgkolf! 🙏🏼
P.S. I wasn't sure whether I should open an issue first. Let me know if you'd prefer that for completeness' sake.
Whatever is more comfortable for you, but you definitely don't need to open an issue first just for the sake of opening an issue if you already have a proposed solution for the fix, thank you! 🙌🏼

👋 I came across the following issue with the
html-no-self-closingrule:When autofixing nested elements whose closing tag appears on a new line, the self-closing tag is correctly fixed, but the indentation is lost and the closing bracket is placed at column 0.
This can be verified with the following example:
