Remove leading spaces when inserting tabs

[crazydef]

In Visual Studio since forever, when you press tab to insert a tab (in a file with indentation set to tabs) and indent to the next tab stop it converts any spaces to the left of the cursor to tabs before jumping to the next tab stop. (Which might result in just one space being converted to a tab if that tab will take you to the next tab stop.)

VSCode doesn't do this so you usually end up with orphaned spaces followed by tabs. This is OCD-annoying.
