read: discard IFS delimiters before the last token

Do this only when splitting on IFS characters which usually contains
whitespace characters --- read --delimiter is unchanged; it still
consumes no more than one delimiter per variable. This seems better,
because it allows arbitrary delimiters in the last field.

Fixes #6406
