As many CI/CD tools don't allow to control command line options when
executing `git tag` command, a default value in the configuration file
will allow to enforce tag signing if required.
The new config-file option tag.gpgSign is added to define default behavior
of tag signings. To override default behavior the command line option -s,
--sign and --no-sign can be used:
$ git tag -m "commit message"
will generate a GPG signed tag if tag.gpgSign option is true, while
$ git tag --no-sign -m "commit message"
will skip the signing step.
