Fix tag handling: preserve annotations and explicit fetch-tags (#2356)

Browse source 
This PR fixes several issues with tag handling in the checkout action:
1. fetch-tags: true now works (fixes #1471)
   - Tags refspec is now included in getRefSpec() when fetchTags=true
   - Previously tags were only fetched during a separate fetch that was
     overwritten by the main fetch
2. Tag checkout preserves annotations (fixes #290)
   - Tags are fetched via refspec (+refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*) instead of
     --tags flag
   - This fetches the actual tag objects, preserving annotations
3. Tag checkout with fetch-tags: true no longer fails (fixes #1467)
   - When checking out a tag with fetchTags=true, only the wildcard
     refspec is used (specific tag refspec is redundant)
Changes: - src/ref-helper.ts: getRefSpec() now accepts fetchTags parameter and prepends tags refspec when true - src/git-command-manager.ts: fetch() simplified to always use --no-tags, tags are fetched explicitly via refspec - src/git-source-provider.ts: passes fetchTags to getRefSpec() - Added E2E test for fetch-tags option
