[issue2552] tag silently create new heads

New submission from Kevin Bullock <kbullock+mercurial at ringworld.org>:

tag silently (!) creates a new head if a non-head revision is checked out. 
This is surprising first because a _commit_ at a non-head revision prints 
'created new head'; even worse, it's almost always the wrong thing to create a 
new head for a tagging commit.
