  * clean up the patch name TAG and UNDO prefix mess for good
  
  This rolls back most of patch 74e5d22381090db9e08f in favour of a safer and
  more principled solution. The way tags are distinguished from regular
  patches via a "TAG " prefix of the patch name is now fully hidden inside
  Darcs.Patch.Info and treated as an implementation detail. To facilitate this
  without too much disruption, we add a data type for patch names, forcing
  client code to be explicit about whether they create a tag or a regular
  patch. This uncovered a few bugs in the test suite where date and name were
  accidentally swapped.
  
  The "UNDO: " prefix that was traditionally prepended to the patch name for
  patches with the _piLegacyIsInverted flag is now treated more uniformly, so
  when such a patch gets amended without replacing the patch name, the prefix
  will be retained as part of the patch name.
