Wouldn't throw NREs in the constructor but whenever any method was called on IndentedTextWriter. Fix this to validate in the constructor

LGTM. @JeremyKuhne, are you ok with this change? Technically it's breaking (e.g. someone constructing an IndentedTextWriter with null and then never using it will now see exceptions they didn't before, and even if they do use it, the exception will now be in a different place), but I agree with @hughbe that the revised behavior is better.
