get_string_size() and get_wordwrap_string_size() don't recognize the tab character.

Godot version: 3.2.1 OS/device including version: Windows 10 Issue description: In the TextEdit you can insert a TAB character into your text and it takes up space. However if you test the size with get_string_size() or get_wordwrap_string_size(), you will get 0.

the code get_string_size("\t\tHello") only returns the size of "Hello". the code get_wordwrap_string_size("\t\tHello\n", 100) only returns the size of "Hello" and "\n".

I might be wrong here, but looking at the source code it seems to me that the problem might be in the font files, as there is no special handling of '\t' character. Instead, all the arithmetics is done by adding the width of consecutive chars and subtracting kerning. Also looking at the font files (godot/thirdparty/fonts/) it would seem they are provided from outside, as 'thirdparty' suggests.

If this is indeed a problem and not intended behaviour I can add something like this:

That would be great.
