ExtensionDistributor: Support custom tags for extensions

Description

Suggested by Jeroen: http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2014-July/077888.html

We currently have a whitelist in https://github.com/wikimedia/operations-mediawiki-config/blob/499aad5daa15b0eac8c6d5144f4e4216ee87e911/wmf-config/CommonSettings.php#L791

I'm wondering if we should just turn the whitelist into a blacklist, and then blacklist all wmf/* branches, and use a regex to remove non-supported REL1_* branches.

Also the code is currently fetching only branches, we'll need to expand it to also fetch tags.

Version: unspecified
Severity: enhancement

Swapping whitelist for blacklist would probably work yeah. But I'm curious how we would know if a given branch/tag (that's not a REL1_nn) could be specified as being unsupported?

Eg: My extension has a 1.0.1 and a 1.0.2 tag, but how would I be able to tell users the 1.0.1 is obsolete and shouldn't be used?

If you follow semver, that can be automatically deduced no?
