Simon Tatham 5d718ef64b Whitespace rationalisation of entire code base.
The number of people has been steadily increasing who read our source
code with an editor that thinks tab stops are 4 spaces apart, as
opposed to the traditional tty-derived 8 that the PuTTY code expects.

So I've been wondering for ages about just fixing it, and switching to
a spaces-only policy throughout the code. And I recently found out
about 'git blame -w', which should make this change not too disruptive
for the purposes of source-control archaeology; so perhaps now is the
time.

While I'm at it, I've also taken the opportunity to remove all the
trailing spaces from source lines (on the basis that git dislikes
them, and is the only thing that seems to have a strong opinion one
way or the other).
    
Apologies to anyone downstream of this code who has complicated patch
sets to rebase past this change. I don't intend it to be needed again.

README

This subdirectory contains a general character-set conversion
library, used in the Unix port of PuTTY, and available for use in
other ports if it should happen to be useful.

This is a variant of a library that's currently used in some other
programs such as Timber and Halibut. At some future date, we would
like to merge the two libraries, so that all programs use the same
libcharset.

It is therefore a _strong_ design goal that this library should remain
perfectly general, and not tied to particulars of PuTTY. It must not
reference any code outside its own subdirectory; it should not have
PuTTY-specific helper routines added to it unless they can be
documented in a general manner which might make them useful in other
circumstances as well.
