Currently, the getMostRecentTags will perform a git fetch --tags, failing if the remote fetching does.

This adds a new option fetchRemote (default true). Setting it to false disables the remote-fetching.

Motivation: Allow running https://github.com/MetaMask/create-release-branch/ in an unauthenticated context.

Could we cover this with some tests?

[legobeat]

This entire module is currently untested, unfortunately...

[legobeat]

basic unit test for the new behavior has been added, alongside a new run option to facilitate testing.

Coming back to this PR. I think this would be useful to have, although for an additional reason than originally proposed. It appears that both create-release-branch and auto-changelog fetch tags, which is not necessary. Adding a flag to auto-changelog would be useful so that create-release-branch doesn't end up fetching tags twice.
