Title: Added tab_width to linter.py

I think tab_width should be specified as the default for more linters.
Is there a reason tab_width isn't specified more often?

Considering that SublimeLinter already parses the reported visual column number to a character column number, it makes sense to me to set the tab_width to the default of the linter itself.
This way, regardless of a person's tab settings the regions should be in the same position. (Only if they change the linter's tab_size setting would it misalign)

Here's an example of it without tab_width where the regions should only be marking the '<'s:

After setting tab_width it works fine.
