feat(lua): vim.text.indent()

Problem:
Indenting text is a common task in plugins/scripts for
presentation/formatting, yet vim has no way of doing it (especially
"dedent", and especially non-buffer text).

Solution:
Introduce `vim.text.indent()`. It sets the *exact* indentation because
that's a more difficult (and thus more useful) task than merely
"increasing the current indent" (which is somewhat easy with a `gsub()`
one-liner).
