[Qt-creator] indent preprocessor directives

  Pre-ANSI C, when many of us learned to type, that wasn't
  the case; preprocessor directives had to start in column 1.
  But ANSI C has been around for a long time now... ;-)

The standards don't require such a thing:

The C standard says:

   A preprocessing directive consists of a sequence of preprocessing
   tokens that begins with a # preprocessing token that (at the start
   of translation phase 4) is either the first character in the source
   file (optionally after white space containing no new-line characters)
   or that follows white space containing at least one new-line
   character, and is ended by the next new-line character.

Indenting preprocessor directives is perfectly acceptable by the standard.
