4th follow-up patch taking welcome feedback from Patrick and JCH. Net new changes include separating from a 2-patch series to 3.

Since git-tag --list --format="%(trailers)" can interpret trailers from annotated tag messages, it seems natural to support --trailer when writing a new tag message.

git-commit accomplishes this by taking --trailer arguments and passing them to git-interpret-trailer. This patch series refactors that logic and uses it to implement --trailer on git-tag.

     @@ Commit message
          Let's move this logic from git-commit to a new function in the trailer
          API, so that it can be re-used in other commands.
      
     -    Additionally, replace git-commit's bespoke callback for --trailer with
     -    the standard OPT_PASSTHRU_ARGV macro. This bespoke callback was only
     -    adding its values to a strvec and sanity-checking that `unset` is always
     -    false; both of these are already implemented in the parse-option API.
