tag: support --sort=<spec>

--sort=version:refname (or --sort=v:refname for short) sorts tags as
if they are versions. --sort=-refname reverses the order (with or
without ":version").

versioncmp() is copied from string/strverscmp.c in glibc commit
ee9247c38a8def24a59eb5cfb7196a98bef8cfdc, reformatted to Git coding
style. The implementation is under LGPL-2.1 and according to [1] I can
relicense it to GPLv2.
