Now that we can issue TAB in a code block and have it act according to
language [see org-src-tab-acts-natively], the following is a minor
frustration: if you try to insert a blank line at the beginning/end of
the block (perhaps to introduce a new first/last line), then on TAB it
disappears because org-edit-src-exit strips leading and trailing blank
lines. This patch introduces a variable that turns off that behaviour.

The default is still to strip lines. I am slightly wondering what the
reason for that default was. I can see it could be useful for
artist-mode, but for genuine code blocks should the default be to give
the user responsibility for curating leading/trailing blank lines?

This patch has been applied. Now, if you have set
`org-src-tab-acts-natively', then you can enter a new indented blank
line at the start/end of a src block using e.g. RET TAB or C-j TAB.

It might be nice to make the native indentation happen automatically
with C-j but I haven't looked into that.
