Fix mixed whitespace in code files of MediaWiki's BiblioPlus extension

This is a very trivial task. The PHP files in MediaWiki's BiblioPlus extension have a mix of space and tab indents.

These should be normalised to being all tabs instead of spaces.

It's a bone of contention in the Open Source community whether tabs or spaces are "better". The main thing here for us, is to be at a minimum consistent, using the projects style consistently throughout the extension.
