Don't apply translate_tabs_to_spaces to piped input.

[mbartlett21]

Problem description

If I pipe the output of programs to subl -, tabs are translated to spaces, rather than it leaving the tabs as is.

For example, running luarocks search busted --porcelain gives nice tab-separated output, which is lost if I pipe it to Sublime.

Preferred solution

Piping data to Sublime should use it as is (maybe doing crlf normalising) rather than translating tabs.

Alternatives

Turning translate_tabs_to_spaces off works for piping data but then makes it use tabs for new documents.

There was nothing for piped input, which I think should be treated as existing data.

Sublime doesn't translate stuff when you open a file that has tabs and it instead autorecognises it for that file.

Good point. I guess if subl just applied the trick from #6157 where translate_tabs_to_spaces is temporarily toggled off, this specific issue could be solved without resolving any underlying tabs/spaces issues.
