useTabs: true not respected when formatting via vscode deno extension

[scarf005]

Describe the bug

when using deno vscode extension, it converts tabs to spaces despite useTabs is true in deno.jsonc .

To Reproduce

1. create following structure

.vscode/settings.json
main.ts
deno.jsonc

{
  "deno.enable": true,
  "deno.lint": true,
  "deno.unstable": true,
  "deno.config": "./deno.jsonc",
  "[json][jsonc][markdown][typescript][typescriptreact]": {
    "editor.defaultFormatter": "denoland.vscode-deno"
  }
}

const foo = () => {
    console.log("hello")
}

{
    "fmt": {
        "semiColons": false,
        "lineWidth": 100,
        "useTabs": true,
        "proseWrap": "never"
    }
}

2. format files using Format Document With... > Deno
3. useTabs: true is not respected in Deno VSCode extension
4. format the file with deno fmt
5. useTabs: true is respected in CLI

Expected behavior

1. useTabs option works
2. deno extension behavior matches with deno cli fmt behavior

The vscode extension prioritises the editor indent settings selected in the status bar as per another request denoland/deno#23257. You have to change it to tabs there.

I ran into the same problem as @scarf005 in Neovim. The editor settings taking priority over the Deno settings feels backwards; this would be a source of conflict in any project where multiple devs have different default editor settings. Isn't the point of the Deno formatting settings to ensure consistency in the project?

@nayeemrmn could you please reopen this issue?

like what @heygarrett said, this behavior is counterintuitive to majority of users (project configuration must have higher precedence over editor configuration) and make working on multiple deno project with different fmt configuration harder.
