tag doc: reword --[no-]merged to talk about commits, not tips
Change the wording for the --merged and --no-merged options to talk about "commits" instead of "tips". This phrasing was copied from the "branch" documentation in commit 5242860 ("tag.c: implement '--merged' and '--no-merged' options", 2015-09-10). Talking about the "tip" is branch nomenclature, not something usually associated with tags. This phrasing might lead the reader to believe that these options might find tags pointing to trees or blobs, let's instead be explicit and only talk about commits.
