remote: make add_missing_tags() linear

The add_missing_tags() method currently has quadratic behavior.
This is due to a linear number (based on number of tags T) of
calls to in_merge_bases_many, which has linear performance (based
on number of commits C in the repository).

Replace this O(T * C) algorithm with an O(T + C) algorithm by
using get_reachable_subset(). We ignore the return list and focus
instead on the reachable_flag assigned to the commits we care
about, because we need to interact with the tag ref and not just
the commit object.
