Enhance support for GPG signed tags (#4394)

- **PR Description**

When using gpg signing on tags via the git config `tag.gpgSign=true`, it
is not possible to do a lightweight tag. You must do an annotated tag
(Which is allowed to have an empty description).

This PR augments the existing `WithGpgHandling` helper to allow it to
specifically target commit signing and tag signing. It then uses that
handler, and creates an annotated tag, when the git config demands tag
GPG signing. By default it will launch the tag signing in a new
subprocess. This does require that users click an extra `<enter>` after
creating a signed tag, but this is currently the behavior for signed
commits, so I don't feel too bad about that. If they want, they can use
the LazyGit configuration option of `git.overrideGpg: true` to promise
to LazyGit that they do not need a GPG sub-process (because they
reliably already have gpg-agent or similar running in the background).
This again matches the current behavior for GPG signed commits.

This has no integration test because we don't have the machinery set up
in place to set up a GPG key inside of our integration test framework.

Fixes https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit/issues/2955
