Some large repositories use tags to track a huge list of release
versions. While this choice is costly on the ref advertisement, it is
further wasteful for clients who do not need those tags. Allow clients
to optionally skip the tag advertisement.
This behavior is similar to that of 'git clone --no-tags' implemented in
0dab2468ee (clone: add a --no-tags option to clone without tags,
2017-04-26), including the modification of the remote.origin.tagOpt
config value to include "--no-tags".
One thing that is opposite of the 'git clone' implementation is that
this allows '--tags' as an assumed option, which can be naturally negated
with '--no-tags'. The clone command does not accept '--tags' but allows
"--no-no-tags" as the negation of its '--no-tags' option.
While testing this option, combine the test with the previously untested
'--no-src' option introduced in 4527db8ff8 (scalar: add --[no-]src
option, 2023-08-28).

Some users have strong aversions to Scalar's opinion that the repository
should be in a 'src' directory, even though this creates a clean slate
for placing build artifacts in adjacent directories.
The new --no-src option allows users to opt out of the default behavior.
While adding options, make sure the usage output by 'scalar clone -h'
reports the same as the SYNOPSIS line in Documentation/scalar.txt.

Move 'scalar' out of 'contrib/' and into the root of the Git tree. The goal
of this change is to build 'scalar' as part of the standard Git build &
install processes.
This patch includes both the physical move of Scalar's files out of
'contrib/' ('scalar.c', 'scalar.txt', and 't9xxx-scalar.sh'), and the
changes to the build definitions in 'Makefile' and 'CMakelists.txt' to
accommodate the new program.
At a high level, Scalar is built so that:
- there is a 'scalar-objs' target (similar to those created in 029bac01a8
(Makefile: add {program,xdiff,test,git,fuzz}-objs & objects targets,
2021-02-23)) for debugging purposes.
- it appears in the root of the install directory (rather than the
gitexecdir).
- it is included in the 'bin-wrappers/' directory for use in tests.
- it receives a platform-specific executable suffix (e.g., '.exe'), if
applicable.
- 'scalar.txt' is installed as 'man1' documentation.
- the 'clean' target removes the 'scalar' executable.
Additionally, update the root level '.gitignore' file to ignore the Scalar
executable.
