[issue7583] doctest should normalize tabs when comparing output

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray <rdmurray at bitdance.com> added the comment:

Removed [patch] from title as patch is set on the keywords.  Removed 2.5 from versions because it is in security fix only mode (we use versions for where things will be fixed, not where they are broken).  Changed component to Library as this is not a bug in the tests themselves but in a library package, doctest.

I didn't set stage to patch review only because I'd like other opinions on the root issue.  Normalizing tabs to 8 spaces sounds wrong to me (including in the source).
