Allow tabs for indentation

Currently, attempting to indent key = value
pairs with tabs causes expected name
errors, which is counter-intuitive. Especially considering that tabs are valid whitespace for line continuation.
The Ninja devs seem to be ignoring this (ninja-build/ninja#1598).
If there is a good reason to reject this, please consider raising an appropriate error message.
Thank you.

Yes, I think that would be quite nice to have, and I see no reason why allowing them would be a problem. Although scripts that use tabs would be incompatible with ninja.
This should be an easy change.
