Get tags for tests from original repo as fallback

This extends the init script so it tries harder to get version
tags:

- As before, locally, "git fetch --all --tags" is always run. (This
  also fetches other objects, and the developer experience would be
  undesirably inconsistent if that were only sometimes done.)

- On CI, run it if version tags are absent. The criterion followed
  here and in subsequent steps is that if any existing tag starts
  with a digit, or with the letter v followed by a digit, we regard
  version tags to be present. This is to balance the benefit of
  getting the tags (to make the tests work) against the risk of
  creating a very confusing situation in clones of forks that
  publish packages or otherwise use their own separate versioning
  scheme (especially if those tags later ended up being pushed).

- Both locally and on CI, after that, if version tags are absent,
  try to copy them from the original gitpython-developers/GitPython
  repo, without copying other tags or adding that repo as a remote.
  Copy only tags that start with a digit, since v+digit tags aren't
  currently used in this project (though forks may use them). This
  is a fallback option and it always displays a warning. If it
  fails, another message is issued for that. Unexpected failure to
  access the repo terminates the script with a failing exit status,
  but the absence of version tags in the fallback remote does not,
  so CI jobs can continue and reveal which tests fail as a result.

On GitHub Actions CI specifically, the Actions syntax for creating
a warning annotation on the workflow is used, but the warning is
still also written to stderr (as otherwise). GHA workflow
annotations don't support multi-line warnings, so the message is
adjusted into a single line where needed.
