Clean up a sentence by trimming it and reducing every sequence of whitespace characters (spaces, tabs, or newlines) to a single space. Return null when the input is null.

Examples:

String text = '  Salesforce   Apex  Challenge ';
String normalized = normalizeWhitespace(text);
// Results: 'Salesforce Apex Challenge'

String text = 'Lines
with	Tabs';
String normalized = normalizeWhitespace(text);
// Results: 'Lines with Tabs'
