    Removes leading and trailing empty lines.

    A list of strings is passed as argument, some of which may be empty.
    This function removes from the start and end of the list a contiguous
    sequence of empty lines and returns the result.  Embedded sequences of
    empty lines are not touched.

    Parameters:
    lines List of strings to be modified.

    Return:
    Input list of strings with leading/trailing blank line sequences
    removed.
