Indentation settings should be in project settings

[aki-cat]

Godot version

4.1.1-stable

System information

Windows 10, but happens in any system

Issue description

Code indentation settings should be a project setting and not a user editor setting. By default the tab-to-space and space-to-tab auto-change runs and causes issues when two or more people work on the same project with different user settings in their editors.

Since indentation is a project-based choice, it should be in project settings and not the user's settings.

Related to #35007 and #56510

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a project, write some code that runs in the main scene.
2. Set your editor settings to use spaces as indentation instead of tabs.
3. Reindent your code accordingly.
4. Send your project to someone else (without the .godot folder).
5. Have them open your project in their editor.
6. See several code errors due to mismatching indentation.

Thank you for opening an issue

This is proposal territory, not bug territory, we wish to separate the two different things, and this changes things quite a lot, so needs to be tracked as a proposal

I worded it as a proposal, but imo it is a bug because it is a 'expected behaviour' vs 'what really happens' issue. I do understand it is subjective categorizing though, and if y'all maintain that it is a proposal, I can submit it to the proposals page.

#69012 will resolve this.

If this is resolved already shouldn't it be closed?
Or can I implement this?

One question. If somebody will set in a project settings text_editor/theme/highlighting/background_color and text_editor/theme/highlighting/text_color to black. Will I be able to override the overridden setting?
