fix: only convert leading tabs to spaces (#1559) (#2434)

* fix: non leading-tabs in markdown content (#1559)

Only replaces tabs at the beginning of a block construct. Tabs in the
middle of the item are unaffected.

All tests passing. Tabs in both GFM and CommonMark at 100%

fixes #1559

* update new/html_comments.html to preserve tab

* combine redundant if condition

* add test for tab immediately after blockquote character
