 When PHP outputs JSON using `json_encode`, there's no option to output it
 with tabs instead of spaces. This is particularly relevant in since
 https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/39048 merged - we now convert
 theme.json files that were using tabs to spaces.

 We could use a regex to convert these spaces back to tabs, but maybe its
 simpler to default to spaces for JSON files since that is the format that
 PHP uses.
