Fix description of (move-to-column <n> t) when column <n> is inside a tab
This fixes bug #35647. State that when indent-tabs-mode is non-nil, spaces
are inserted before the tab rather than the tab being replaced by spaces.
* doc/lispref/text.texi (columns)
* src/indent.c (move-to-column): Make the above documentation amendment.
