Chrome/Opera, Firefox and Safari all already have support for CSS property tab-size. We should apply a lower value than browser's default 8 (spaces) to <syntaxhighlight> blocks to make our documentation more easily digestible.

| mediawiki/extensions/SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi : master | Set tab size to 4 |
Hmm - this could actually be problematic. I imagine there are cases where people are lining up stuff up using tabs instead of spaces, e.g.
foobar { baz
quux
whee }using
foobar<tab>.{.baz
<tab >..quux
<tab >..whee.}While I'm less concerned about people having to migrate to tab-size 4, the problem is that the feature is CSS3 and not supported in any version of IE/Edge which could lead to edit wars...

Follow-up Ib709ffd72: Add vendor prefixes
@Esanders This could probably be a side effect, but we agree that it improves code readability, exemplified at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Coding_conventions/PHP and we therefore give it a shot?
