Subject: [PATCH] setlocalversion: use any tag

I googled about '+' mark in kernel version number. Many people also
do not understand why their kernel version includes '+'. And many
people creates an empty .scmversion file to remove it. I also
create the empty .scmversion file whenever I clean the kernel tree.
If setlocalversion script uses both of annotated tag and
lightweight tag, it would be more convenient because it is common to set
lightweight tag during developmene process.
