Remarks
Adjusts the indentation of each line of this string based on the value of n, and normalizes line termination characters.
This string is conceptually separated into lines using String#lines(). Each line is then adjusted as described below and then suffixed with a line feed "\n" (U+000A). The resulting lines are then concatenated and returned.
If n > 0 then n spaces (U+0020) are inserted at the beginning of each line.
If n < 0 then up to nCharacter#isWhitespace(int) white space characters are removed from the beginning of each line. If a given line does not contain sufficient white space then all leading Character#isWhitespace(int) white space characters are removed. Each white space character is treated as a single character. In particular, the tab character "\t" (U+0009) is considered a single character; it is not expanded.
If n == 0 then the line remains unchanged. However, line terminators are still normalized.
