refine: strmisc.expandTabs better code structure (#23783)

After this pr, for a string with just 20 length and 6 `'\t'`, the time reduces by about 1.5%[^t].

Also, the code is clearer than the previous at some places.


[^t]: Generally speaking, this rate increases with length. I may test
for longer string later.
