Subject: [PATCH] fix(eslint-plugin): normalize whitespace in allowList
 variable matching

When a member expression spans multiple lines (e.g. `ignored\n    .run()`),
`sourceCode.getText()` preserves the newline. The root segment extracted
by splitting on `.'` then becomes `'ignored\n    '`, which never matches
the allowlisted variable name `'ignored'`.

Fix: extend `normalizeChain` to also collapse all whitespace, so
multi-line chains produce the same identifier path as single-line ones.

Fixes #10334
