revset: add pattern matching to 'tag' revset expression

If the string provided to the 'tag' predicate starts with 're:', the rest
of the string will be treated as a regular expression and matched against
all tags in the repository.

There is a slight backwards-compatibility problem for people who actually
have tags that start with 're:'. As a workaround, these tags can be matched
using a 'literal:' prefix.

If no tags match the pattern, an error is raised. This matches the behaviour
of the previous exact-match code.
