(Re) Introduce a way to set how many spaces a tab keypress is converted to

Right now, when the tab key is pressed it is possible to configure Obsidian to enter either one tab char or 4 spaces.

Some users likely prefer to have a way to specify the number of spaces a tab key-press is converted to.

It is important to note that Obsidian does NOT support proper delimiter based indentation (that dictates a variable number of spaces for proper indentation).
Right now, indenting with anything different than 1 tab or 4 spaces will be broken.

Not directly related, but if someone is looking for a way to convert indention to 4 spaces as a workaround until this is implemented, I have documented a way to do it in Indenting with 2 spaces in 1.8.x - #3 by spasche
