This PR fixes several issues with tag handling in the checkout action:

  1. fetch-tags: true now works (fixes actions#1471)

    • Tags refspec is now included in getRefSpec() when fetchTags=true
    • Previously tags were only fetched during a separate fetch that was overwritten by the main fetch

  2. Tag checkout preserves annotations (fixes actions#290)

    • Tags are fetched via refspec (+refs/tags/:refs/tags/) instead of --tags flag
    • This fetches the actual tag objects, preserving annotations

  3. Tag checkout with fetch-tags: true no longer fails (fixes actions#1467)

    • When checking out a tag with fetchTags=true, only the wildcard refspec is used (specific tag refspec is redundant)
