templater: introduce {latesttag()} function to match a pattern (issue4184) This allows the latest class of tag to be found, such as a release candidate or final build, instead of just the absolute latest. It doesn't appear that the existing keyword can be given an optional argument. There is a keyword, function and filter for 'date', so it doesn't seem harmful to introduce a new function with the same name as an existing keyword. Most functions are pretty Mercurial agnostic, but there is {revset()} as precedent. Even though templatekw.getlatesttags() returns a single tuple, one entry of which is a list, it is simplest to present this as a list of tags instead of a single item, with each tag having a distance and change count attribute. It is also closer to how {latesttag} returns a list of tags, and how this function works when not given a '%' operator.
