patch 8.1.0542: shiftwidth() does not take 'vartabstop' into accountv8.1.0542

Problem:    shiftwidth() does not take 'vartabstop' into account.
Solution:   Use the cursor position or a position explicitly passed.
            Also make >> and << work better with 'vartabstop'. (Christian
            Brabandt)
