lib/diffs: make sure that trailing tabs are indicated

Between the initial submission and final version of commit f79c40759d6f,
changes were made that turn out to be incorrect. The changes assume that the
later match on trailing tabs will 'win' from the plain 'tab' match. However,
Python 're' documentation says:

As the target string is scanned, REs separated by '|' are tried from
left to right. When one pattern completely matches, that branch is
accepted. This means that once A matches, B will not be tested further,
even if it would produce a longer overall match. In other words, the '|'
operator is never greedy.
https://docs.python.org/3.8/library/re.html

As a result, a trailing tab is seen as a plain tab and not highlighted in a
special way.

Unify the tab handling to make it unambiguous how they should be parsed.

The change diff mainly shows re group numbers shifting.

=============================
Version control systems setup
=============================

Kallithea supports Git and Mercurial repositories out-of-the-box.
For Git, you do need the ``git`` command line client installed on the server.

You can always disable Git or Mercurial support by editing the
file ``kallithea/__init__.py`` and commenting out the backend. For example, to
disable Git but keep Mercurial enabled:

.. code-block:: python

   BACKENDS = {
       'hg': 'Mercurial repository',
       #'git': 'Git repository',
   }


Git-specific setup
------------------


Web server with chunked encoding
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Large Git pushes require an HTTP server with support for
chunked encoding for POST. The Python web servers waitress_ and
gunicorn_ (Linux only) can be used. By default, Kallithea uses
waitress_ for `gearbox serve` instead of the built-in `paste` WSGI
server.

The web server used by gearbox is controlled in the .ini file::

    use = egg:waitress#main

or::

    use = egg:gunicorn#main

Also make sure to comment out the following options::

    threadpool_workers =
    threadpool_max_requests =
    use_threadpool =

Increasing Git HTTP POST buffer size
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

If Git pushes fail with HTTP error code 411 (Length Required), you may need to
increase the Git HTTP POST buffer. Run the following command as the user that
runs Kallithea to set a global Git variable to this effect::

    git config --global http.postBuffer 524288000
