In fact we do not need default indentation, I've forgotten to remove the variable. I've already added a unit test that verifies we work correctly when the matches[1] group is undefined.

In case project's package.json uses tabs or multiple spaces for indentation, the postinstall script of nativescript-dev-webpack overwrites it with two spaces whenever it is executed. The problem is that the plugin tries to modify the package.json and persists it on every operation. Fix the behavior by checking the indentation character and use it when stringifying the content. Also compare the current content of the file with the one we will write and skip the write operation in case they match. Add unit tests for the new methods.

PR Checklist
What is the current behavior?
When the project's package.json is indented with tabs or more than two spaces, running the postinstall script of the plugin overwrites the content with indentation with two spaces.
What is the new behavior?
Indentation is persisted. Also package.json will not be overwritten in case there's no need.
Fixes issue NativeScript/nativescript-cli#4190
