This reverts commit f2d379e7cb802f922409c35e4831ee52a2162486.  On top of that it
also removes the `/tags` file because we don't even have the `make tags` target
any more.  Any tool-related ignores should go to user's global ignore file or
the user's local exclude file which is per-project.  See git-config(1) and
gitignore(5) for more details.

We still carry '.ctags'. With that directory you don't need any fancy
'make tags' because simply running 'ctags' in the source code directory
just does the right thing.

So /tags it's not needed in the .gitignore either.

I don't quite follow why. Running 'ctags' with the configuration we have
in the repository creates an untracked 'tags' file which we don't want
to commit/distribute.

Oh, and that creates the tags file, I misunderstood the first comment
then, I'll remove the removal of /tags from the commit then.
