bpo-32028: Fix suggestions for indented print statements (GH-4688)

CuriousLearner · ncoghlan · commit d57f26c753dc · 2018-01-20T13:12:22.000+10:00
The suggested replacement for print statements previously failed to account
for leading whitespace and hence could end up including unwanted text in
the proposed call to the print builtin.
