Mike Frysinger 347f9ed393 sync: rework selfupdate logic
The current logic has a downside in that it doesn't sync to the latest
signed version available if the latest commit itself is unsigned.  This
can come up when using the "main" branch as it is sometimes signed, but
often not as it's holding the latest merged commits.  When people use
the main branch, it's to get early testing on versions tagged but not
yet released, and we don't want them to get stuck indefinitely on that
old version of repo.

For example, this series of events:
* "stable" is at v2.12.
* "main" is tagged with v2.13.
* early testers use --repo-rev main to get v2.13.
* new commits are merged to "main".
* "main" is tagged with v2.14.
* new commits are merged to "main".
* devs who had synced in the past to test v2.13 are stuck on v2.13.
  repo sees "main" is unsigned and so doesn't try to upgrade at all.

The only way to get unwedged is to re-run `repo init --repo-rev main`,
or to manually sync once with repo verification disabled, or for us to
leave "main" signed for a while and hope devs will sync in that window.

The new logic is that whenever changes are available, we switch to the
latest signed tag.  We also replace some of the duplicated verification
code in the sync command with the newer wrapper logic.  This handles a
couple of important scenarios inaddition to above:
* rollback (e.g. v2.13.8 -> v2.13.7)
* do not trash uncommitted changes (in case of ad-hoc testing)
* switch tag histories (e.g. v2.13.8 -> v2.13.8-cr1)
