Fix tags sort by creation time (descending) on branch/tag dropdowns (#…

…23491)

This PR fixes the tags sort issue mentioned in #23432
The tags on dropdown shoud be sorted in descending order of time but are
not. Because when getting tags, it execeutes `git tag sort
--sort=-taggerdate`. Git supports two types of tags: lightweight and
annotated, and `git tag sort --sort=-taggerdate` dosen't work with
lightweight tags, which will not give correct result. This PR add
`GetTagNamesByRepoID ` to get tags from the database so the tags are
sorted.

Also adapt this change to the droplist when comparing branches. 

Dropdown places:
