[PATCH 2/2] fetch: send "refs/tags/" prefix upon CLI refspecs

When performing tag following, in addition to using the server's "include-tag" capability to send tag objects (and emulating it if the server does not support that capability), "git fetch" relies upon the presence of refs/tags/* entries in the initial ref advertisement to locally create refs pointing to the aforementioned tag objects. When using protocol v2, refs/tags/* entries in the initial ref advertisement may be suppressed by a ref-prefix argument, leading to the tag object being downloaded, but the ref not being created.

Commit dcc73cf7ff ("fetch: generate ref-prefixes when using a configured refspec", 2018-05-18) ensured that "refs/tags/" is always sent as a ref prefix when "git fetch" is invoked with no refspecs, but not when "git fetch" is invoked with refspecs. Extend that functionality to make it work in both situations.
