Show tabs in code blocks 4 columns wide

Branch feature/tab-size · version 0.5.1

What changed

• tab-size: 4 on code blocks. Browsers show a tab as 8 columns by default. gofmt indents Go with tabs, so quoted Go code ran past the edge of its box two levels in. Code blocks now show tabs 4 columns wide.
• Test: the stylesheet test checks the rule is there.
• Version: 0.5.1.

Notes

• Posts can now quote Go exactly as gofmt writes it, with tabs, instead of re-indenting with spaces. The pinned-posts post was re-indented with spaces before this fix and looks the same either way.
• The stylesheet's content hash changes, so browsers fetch the new file on their next visit without a hard refresh (v0.2.1).

Testing

• All tests pass with the race detector (go test -race ./...).
• Rendered the same tab-indented Go snippet with the old and new stylesheet:

Before (8 columns)	After (4 columns)
