Added a section about soft tabs and hard tabs

In our specification, we heavily use both tab/hard tab and space/soft tab. I think we need to make clear in the spec what do we mean by those terms.

I do not think this should be merged as is. I believe this needs further discussion on the main issue tracker.

I agree that we should not explicitly require a character set with ASCII whitespace values. Someone could happily use EditorConfig to edit EBCDIC files, even if doing so is uncommon :) .
