If parse_tag was given ambiguous name, i.e. name which is both head
(branch) name and tag name, parse_tag failed because git prefer heads
to tags if there is ambiguity. Now it tries harder: if git-cat-file
doesn't produce output, try to resolve argument as tag name using
git-show-ref.

This supplements previous patch; while previous modified links to always
use unambiguous name, this one makes 'tag' view work even if passed
ambiguous name which is both name of head and of tag.
