fetch: allow command line --tags to override config
Originally, if remote.<name>.tagopt was set, the --tags and option would have no effect when given to git fetch. So if tagopt="--no-tags" git fetch --tags would not actually fetch tags. This patch changes this behavior to only follow what is written in the config if there is no option passed by the command line.
