Switch from tabs to spaces in postgresql.conf.sample.

This file is written for 8-space tabs, since we expect that most
users who edit their configuration files use 8-space tabs.
However, most of PostgreSQL is written for 4-space tabs, and at
least one popular web interface defaults to 4-space tabs. Rather
than trying to standardize on a particular tab width for this file,
let's just switch to spaces.
