 * Guess the indentation of a JSON string.

 *  - `undefined`: none
 *  - integer: number of spaces
 *  - string: tabs
 *
 * @example
 * ```js
 * const input = [{ example: true }]
 * guessJsonIndent(JSON.stringify(input)) // undefined
 * guessJsonIndent(JSON.stringify(input, undefined, 1)) // 1
 * guessJsonIndent(JSON.stringify(input, undefined, 2)) // 2
 * guessJsonIndent(JSON.stringify(input, undefined, 4)) // 4
 * guessJsonIndent(JSON.stringify(input, undefined, '\t')) // '\t'
 * guessJsonIndent(JSON.stringify(input, undefined, '\t\t')) // '\t\t'
 *
 * // Keep the indentation of a JSON string when parsing/serializing it
 * const jsonString = JSON.stringify(input, undefined, 2)
 * const indent = guessJsonIndent(jsonString)
 * const parsedValue = JSON.parse(jsonString)
 * console.log(JSON.stringify(input, undefined, indent)) // Same as jsonString
 * ```
