[Toybox] [PATCH] Whitespace: remove tabs from indentation.

[enh]

that's what i meant about "you have to learn to give up control over
every last space or tab". many Google and Android projects use
clang-format, perhaps helped by the fact that no-one really loves
https://google.github.io/styleguide/cppguide.html but everyone has far
better things to do than waste more time arguing with their neighbor
about indentation.

(the only exception is the odd table of data where there's an attempt
to make it more human-readable, but  that's just a few `clang-format
on/off` comments in hundreds of thousands of lines of code. i've
certainly not seen anyone do what that systemd bug talks about and
turn off formatting just so they can write an over-long line. that
wouldn't make it through code review anyway, unless everyone agrees in
a longer line length, in which case just fix your .clang-format file
so the tool knows what your max line length is.)
