[PATCH] git fetch: Take '-n' to mean '--no-tags'

Prior to commit 83201998730ac5f0b95ac832f3b727da26ab0129, we understood '-n' as a short option to mean "don't fetch tags from the remote". This patch reinstates behaviour similar, but not identical to the pre commit 832019987 times.

Back then, -n always overrode --tags, so if both --tags and -n was given on command-line, no tags were fetched regardless of argument ordering. Now we use a "last entry wins" strategy, so '-n --tags' means "fetch tags". Since it's patently absurd to say both --tags and --no-tags this shouldn't matter in practice.
