Fix invalid number of space characters inserted for tab (#27336)

Closes #25941 

Release Notes:

- Corrected SoftTab indentation handling for lines with mixed spaces and
tabs across .go files and other file types.
- Renamed the editor test `test_tab_with_mixed_whitespace` to
`test_tab_with_mixed_whitespace_rust` as it only tested this behavior
for Rust buffers, which have auto-indentation support. This change
clarifies that the test does not cover default files without
language-specific features.
- Added a new editor test `test_tab_with_mixed_whitespace_txt` to ensure
proper coverage for files with no associated language.

While investigating the issue — initially thought to be Go-related — I
discovered that the underlying problem was how soft tabs were calculated
in `Editor::tab`, given that the problem could also be observed on
`.txt` files

The correct soft tab indentation is now determined by treating all `\t`
characters before the cursor (on the same row) as new indentation
levels, resetting the remainder counter accordingly.
