[PATCHv3 2/7] fast-export: Omit tags that tag trees

Commit c0582c53bcf4e83bba70e1ad23abbad31f96ebc8 introduced logic to just omit tags that point to tree objects. However, these objects were still being output and were pointing at "mark :0", which caused fast-import to crash. This patch makes sure such tags (including deeper nestings such as tags of tags of trees), are omitted.

Since the last series, the code has been moved to the handle_tag
function, as suggested by Junio.  Also, it now correctly catches and
omits tags of tags of trees, tags of tags of tags of trees, etc.
