support for tab indentation

[AyushRawal]

issue #15

[glepnir]

give it a test seems like works well thanks :)

[glepnir]

for noexpand file it works well but like vim file it has tab and space both then this patch not works well

[AyushRawal]

I am unable to reproduce this. Can you share some code for me test on?

[glepnir]

because of modeline . eg vim source code when i develop the feature of vim i notice that. just git clone https://github.com/vim/vim

in C file the header is set tabstop to 8 shiftwidth to 4 noexpandtab (modeline)

this somewhat fixes it:

   for i = 1, indent - 1, cache.shiftwidth do
     local col = i - 1
     local level = math.floor(col / cache.shiftwidth) + 1

for doing this properly instead of saving shiftwidth, it should be step, whose value depends on expandtab

this should be correct solution I think:

you would need the C function to get tabstop value.
Also, I don't think the case of mixed tabs and spaces can be fully addressed without ballooning up this plugin and using treesitter.

now should work thanks
