Parsed files with includes have huge amounts of whitespace and include Xacro comments

See generated Valkyrie URDF xacro. It may be best to just trim all newline whitespace? How does python xacro handle this?
It looks like newlines and comments before a xacro node are stripped: https://github.com/ros/xacro/blob/melodic-devel/src/xacro/__init__.py#L792-L809
And there's a custom pretty printer for xml here that collapses whitespace:
While it's not exactly the same as the python xacro parser I'm going to call this good enough for now
