Translating the tab from two characters to one character in the SED script supports more kernel parameters such as 'net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range'.

Some sysctl values return "tabs", this breakes the test for changes, since there is no sane way to specify tabs in the target value.

this change converts tabs in the output of sysctl -n to two spaces. resolving this issue of false positive change detection

@bschonec this is just a fork and not the origin, here is the upstream PR: thias#72

not sure if "thias" is still taking care of his project or if it is dead, the above PR is already 4 years old...

Yeah, I'm requesting that you merge this in so that "thias" can then merge in the combination of changes. Your PR needs the change for your fix to fix "thias's" issue. Is that confusing enough? I'll see if I can get him to accept the pull request or donate it to Voxpupuli.

I sent another email to the project owner. It does look like he's fairly active still....just not with Puppet stuff.

@schlitzered, I'm not sure if I missed it but this PR should have gone into your tabs_to_spaces branch.
