Add a --no-tags-submodules which does for --no-tags what the existing
--shallow-submodules does for --depth, i.e. doing:

    git clone --recurse-submodules --no-tags --no-tags-submodules <url>

Will clone the superproject and all submodules with --no-tags
semantics.

My gut reaction to this is that it is ugly and maybe we should rather have
a --no-tags[=<repo-spec>].

See my gut reaction to that is: that's ugly :).  The --no-tags option
should just be propagated down (like I mentioned in another thread).

We have had the discussion for e.g. git-push, for which we would like to
have a way to specify to push the superproject, or some submodules or
all of them, or just the superproject and changed submodules,
such that there we have a "git push --recurse-submodules= \
[check|on-demand|only|no]" which comes close to what I mean by
"repo-spec".

This makes more sense to me in terms of pushing...its still not my
favorite ui design but its what we have.
