This is the third version of my attempt to make `pager tag` useful (v1 at [1], v2 at [2]). Thanks to Junio and Peff for comments on v2.

I've squashed patches 01-03/10 and 07-08/10, respectively. The interdiff is below. I managed to clean up some tests thanks to a drive-by comment by Peff which cleared up a misunderstanding I had. Some minor changes, e.g., I write "built-in" instead of "builtin", since that seemed preferred, at least locally in builtin.h. I documented why a default value of "punt" could be useful, but also that it's probably not wanted.
