[Enhancement] Automatically sanitize tag name

[starnutoditopo]

When creating a tag (shift+Ctrl+t), it would be nice if pasted/typed text would be automatically sanitized, for example by replacing invalid characters with underscores.

This would prevent the "Bad tag name format!" icon

and the user could avoid manual corrections.

Optionally, this behavior could be enabled/disabled in the "Preferences" view.

For branch creation, this feature has already been included. But for tags, I strongly recommend using semantic tags, For example: v{Major}.{Minor}.{Build} or {Year}.{Month}.{Build} etc.

@love-linger : for sure, your recommendation is the best practice. Nevertheless, I asked for this feature because git allows the use of different tags.

But for tags, I strongly recommend using semantic tags, For example: v{Major}.{Minor}.{Build} or {Year}.{Month}.{Build} etc.

Additional note: that is true only for persistent tags, which is bound to some milestone in the development. But you may want to create temporary tags to mark some commits in your history, that is not strongly related to any release.

Also suggestion: use hyphen (-) and not underscore (_) for sanitizing. Hyphen is much simpler to enter in the console (at least in popular layouts), because it does not require Shift press and may be entered from numpad.

Done. You can test the latest CI build from Github Action.

I suggested underscore (_) because I saw it as default char in some other clients; I also prefer it because it doesn't interfere with common syntax used in strings, like ISO dates. As it should be inserted automatically by the application, pressing SHIFT in typing shouldn't be a big issue, though. Apart of that, any default char is fine for me.
