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.

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool
for software developers.

Basic install:

 $ make            # see install targets
 $ make install    # do a system-wide install
 $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
 $ hg              # see help

Running without installing:

 $ make local      # build for inplace usage
 $ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version
