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.

Martin Ågren (7):
  builtin.h: take over documentation from api-builtin.txt
  git.c: let builtins opt for handling `pager.foo` themselves
  git.c: provide setup_auto_pager()
  t7006: add tests for how git tag paginates
  tag: respect `pager.tag` in list-mode only
  tag: change default of `pager.tag` to "on"
  git.c: ignore pager.* when launching builtin as dashed external
