Change `useTabs` to `true` by default

Since&nbsp;we’re&nbsp;changing the&nbsp;defaults for&nbsp;several&nbsp;options in&nbsp;2.0, I’ve&nbsp;decided&nbsp;to&nbsp;request that&nbsp;we&nbsp;do&nbsp;so&nbsp;for&nbsp;`useTabs`&nbsp;as&nbsp;well. Tabs&nbsp;have several&nbsp;advantages over&nbsp;spaces: - Always&nbsp;1&nbsp;byte per&nbsp;indentation&nbsp;level, regardless&nbsp;of&nbsp;tabstop&nbsp;width. - Indent&nbsp;size is&nbsp;customisable (those&nbsp;of&nbsp;us&nbsp;who prefer&nbsp;4&nbsp;characters can&nbsp;use a&nbsp;tabstop&nbsp;width&nbsp;of&nbsp;4, and&nbsp;those&nbsp;who prefer&nbsp;2&nbsp;characters can&nbsp;use a&nbsp;tabstop&nbsp;width&nbsp;of&nbsp;2) - <https://www.reddit.com/r/javascript/comments/c8drjo/nobody_talks_about_the_real_reason_to_use_tabs/> - <https://alexandersandberg.com/tabs-for-accessibility/> --- **See&nbsp;also:** #6888
