Describe the changes made in this pull request

Hi,

As discussed in #627: the keywords answer is split on , but not trimmed, so kw1, second kw gives keywords = ["kw1"," second kw"], and an empty answer gives keywords = [""].

• pyproject.toml.jinja trims each keyword and drops empty ones, so an empty answer now gives keywords = [].
• The CITATION.cff template does the same, and leaves out keywords: when nothing is left.
• Two tests in tests/test_values.py, one per file. Both fail on main and pass with the change.
• A CHANGELOG line under Changed.

Tests: the full suite passes on Python 3.12, 3.13 and 3.14 (Linux), apart from test_ruff_check, which fails on CPY001 as it does on main. #713 fixes that. I couldn't run macOS or Windows.

Answer kw1, second kw, for keywords, then check keywords in pyproject.toml and CITATION.cff.
