Support for custom indent sizes (tab widths) other than 4

This seems somewhat undesirable since it explicitly goes against PEP 8. But it does resolve #204 (another issue caused by using pep8 to check explicitly non-PEP-8 code).

[jansel]

PEP 8 contains an exception for legacy 8-spaced code. This commit would allow that code to be supported properly, so I don't think it goes against PEP 8. Compared to the --max-line-length option I think this is a reasonable change. Setting --max-line-length to a value other than 79 would also violate PEP 8, but it is a common variable in the PEP 8 standard which people change in practice.

However I will admit my personal motivation of this change is for checking 2-spaced code. :)

We also have an internal style guide that requires 2 spaces for indentation, so it would be nice to have this option when using the PEP8 checking. For now I just have to disable E111 and have no indentation checking.

I don't have control over company policies. I would rather be able to modify the rule instead of ignore it.
