bug#50519: 28.0.50; describe-fontset bug when indent-tabs-mode is nil

[Kévin Le Gouguec]

Hi,

Unless I'm bisecting this wrong, 2021-08-20 "Fix printing of C-@ in
`describe-fontset'" (ac2cecbd83) introduced a regression when
indent-tabs-mode is nil:

$ emacs -Q
M-: (custom-set-variables '(indent-tabs-mode nil))
M-x describe-fontset RET fontset-default RET

⇒ print-fontset-element: Args out of range: #<buffer *Help*>, 1465, 1466

IIUC setting indent-tabs-mode to nil changes describe-vector's output
(since it eventually calls Findent_to), which I guess fools
print-fontset-element?

I haven't taken the time to fully understand how print-fontset-element
and mule--kbd-at operate, so I don't know if the correct fix would be
tweaking some regexp(s) or let-binding indent-tabs-mode to t somewhere.
