From: Phillip Wood <phillip.wood@dunelm.org.uk>

Currently diff --color-moved-ws=allow-indentation-change does not support indentation that contains a mix of tabs and spaces. For example in commit 546f70f377 ("convert.h: drop 'extern' from function declaration", 2018-06-30) the function parameters in the following lines are not colored as moved [1].

-extern int stream_filter(struct stream_filter *,
-                        const char *input, size_t *isize_p,
-                        char *output, size_t *osize_p);
+int stream_filter(struct stream_filter *,
+                 const char *input, size_t *isize_p,
+                 char *output, size_t *osize_p);

This commit changes the way the indentation is handled to track the visual size of the indentation rather than the characters in the indentation. This has they benefit that any whitespace errors do not interfer with the move detection (the whitespace errors will still be highlighted according to --ws-error-highlight). During the discussion of this feature there were concerns about the correct detection of indentation for python. However those concerns apply whether or not we're detecting moved lines so no attempt is made to determine if the indentation is 'pythonic'.

[1] Note that before the commit to fix the erroneous coloring of moved
    lines each line was colored as a different block, since that commit
    they are uncolored.

Notes:
    Changes since rfc:
     - It now replaces the existing implementation rather than adding a new
       mode.
     - The indentation deltas are now calculated once for each line and
       cached.
     - Optimized the whitespace delta comparison to compare string lengths
       before comparing the actual strings.
     - Modified the calculation of tabs as suggested by Stefan.
     - Split out the blank line handling into a separate commit as suggest
       by Stefan.
     - Fixed some comments pointed out by Stefan.
