document that git-tag can tag more than heads

Browse Source 
After looking the git-tag manpage, someone on #git wondered how
to tag a commit that is not a branch head.  This patch changes
the synopsis to say "<commit> | <object>" instead of "<head>" to
address his question.

Samuel Bronson had the idea of putting "<commit> | <object>"
for "<object>" because most tags point to commits (and for the
rest of the manpage, all tags point to commits).
