Mention required terminfo update when changing tabspaces
Changing tabspaces from the default (8) requires a corresponding
update to the `it` item in the terminfo entry used.
Some applications, like Emacs, rely on knowing the width of a tab, and
will experience unexpected behavior if the terminfo data does not
match the actual width used.
