Fixing tabs in copy-paste

This resolves issues with copy-pasting tabs by including them in the pasted string. Selection of tabs is still inconsistent with what might be expected based on other terminal emulators, however the behavior hasn't regressed. This fixes https://github.com/jwilm/alacritty/issues/219.
