fix coefficients for symbolic series

[rwst]

There is no SR.function that gets the coefficients of SR.series; rather, coeffs() etc give confusing results; truncate() must be prepended manually.

sage: x=var('x')
sage: s=(1/(1-x)).series(x,6)
sage: s.coeffs()
[[x^5 + x^4 + x^3 + x^2 + x + Order(x^6) + 1, 0]]
sage: s.coefficient(4)
0

Working around with s.truncate() is only a fig leaf.

You have introduced lines made of blank symbols in src/sage/symbolic/expression.pyx. Please replace them by empty lines. It seems to be the case also on the code introduced for the related ticket #17348. Maybe you could replace all of them in expression.pyx at once.

Note. With sed: sed -i -e "s/^ *$//" src/sage/symbolic/expression.pyx.
