[leafnode-list] Leafnode 1.9.6 and TAB in headers

[Radosław Gancarz <r_g@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Leafnode cannot read articles with TAB character after field name in some 
essential headers (ie. "From:", "Date:" etc). These fields are reported
missing in fetchnews and xoverutil (both uses constructions like
strncmp(line, "Field: ",7) ). 

This patch allow leafnode to work with those articles by converting all
tabs in headers to spaces (I don't know if server is allowed to do such
things and I didn't found answer in RFC 977 yet).
