complete (real C) tags

I don't think I ever posted this; it allows the new completion system to
complete tags from a TAGS or tags file (i.e. the tags used by Emacs and vi,
nothing to do with completion tags).  I have it bound to ^Xt.

I was going to send it to zshu, until I realised it didn't use style tags,
and tried to make it by sticking the _wanted stuff in front, which failed,
so I took it off again.  Only one man will know why...
