Denton Liu eea9c1e78f tag: advise on nested tags ...

Robert Dailey reported confusion on the mailing list about a nested
tag which was most likely created by mistake. Jeff King noted that
this isn't a very common case and creating a tag-to-a-tag can be a
user-error.

Suggest that it may be a mistake with an advice message when
creating such a tag.  Those who do want to create a tag that point
at another tag regularly can turn it off with the usual advice
mechanism.
