doc: add alternatives for field processing not supported by cut

* doc/coreutils.texi (cut invocation): Remove the tr -s '[:blank:]'
example, as it doesn't handle leading and trailing blanks.  Add `awk`
examples for common field processing operations often asked about.
Also document a `join` hack, to achieve the same thing.  Note the
join options are ordered so as to be compatible with other systems.
