Closes Issue #3050
Why:
The concept of an annotated tag, referenced in the Managing tags article, may be confusing to someone who first encounters this concept, especially if they think a tag is a feature specific to Desktop.
This PR modifies a sentence in the "About tags" section to state that tags are associated with commits. This should make the second paragraph (that tags are pushed with associated commits) make more sense to people new to Git/GitHub/Desktop. This PR also adds a link to the Git documentation on tags for people who want to learn more, which aligns with other Desktop articles on Git concepts.
