#569 and #637 each added a `format.tabs` command and a Tabs dialog. Keep one of each:
- format.tabs takes #567/#569's add/move/remove/clear/set plus #637's strict `set`
(unknown alignment or non-object entries are errors, stops within 0.05 pt collapse,
last wins) and opens the Tabs dialog when called with no fields, as #637 did.
A defaultTab-only call no longer rewrites the stops.
- The Tabs dialog is #569's; it now seeds from the dialog's params when Paragraph (or
format.tabs) opened it, and on OK hands the applied stops back to Paragraph.
- Tests adapted: an empty format.tabs opens the dialog; the Paragraph → Tabs test sets
stops through #569's dialog fields.

Format > Tabs opens from Home > Line Spacing > Tabs…, from the
Paragraph dialog, or by double-clicking a tab stop on the ruler. It
lists the selected paragraphs' tab stops (inches) with their
alignment. Set adds or replaces a stop at a position with Left,
Center, Right or Decimal alignment, Clear removes one, Clear All
removes them all, and you can change the default tab spacing. OK
applies everything in one undo step through format.tabs, which now
takes `set`. Cancel changes nothing.
The ruler's corner has PowerPoint's tab selector. A click cycles left,
center, right and decimal, and a click on the ruler then sets that
kind of stop. Presses on the rulers no longer reach the slide, so
they don't end text editing.

While you edit text, the horizontal ruler now shows the text area's
span and the indent and tab markers of the paragraph with the caret.
- First-line indent: the top triangle.
- Hanging indent: the bottom triangle. Dragging it moves the left
indent while the first line stays put.
- Left indent: the box under the hanging triangle. Dragging it moves
both.
- Tab stops are drawn as left, centre, right and decimal marks.
- A click on the ruler adds a left tab, dragging a tab moves it, and
dragging a tab down off the ruler removes it.
Every change goes through a command (format.paragraph or the new
format.tabs). Each is one undo step and applies to the selected
paragraphs, and text editing goes on throughout. format.ruler is a
new query that reports the text area's position and the paragraph's
resolved indents and tabs. Rotated and vertical text show no markers.
