Saner indentation handling #40

Normally, the docopt spec would have usage strings indenting with two spaces. However, Go formatting overall prefers a hard tab, which often conflicts with styling tools like gofmt.

When the usage string (e.g., a Go multiline backticked string) has a mix of hard and soft tabs, docopt prints a misaligned help message. While this is a cosmetic error, this conflict risks causing parse errors.

For docopt-go, could we expand the parser to treat \t as equivalent to two spaces?
