Add by_tag_subtask policy test

PR: https://forge.fedoraproject.org/koji/koji/pulls/4578

This hub policy test is true if a tag operation is triggered by a tagBuild subtask.

When this is true, it means the tag operation is part of a builder workflow, e.g. tagging at the end of a build task. This can be used to avoid breaking build target workflows when crafting strict tag policies.
