feat(tools): add get_latest_gh_tag helper function

Adds a reusable function to fetch the latest tag from a GitHub repo.
Useful for projects that only use tags, not full releases (e.g.
mongodb/mongo-tools).

Features:
- Optional prefix filter (e.g. '100.' or 'v')
- Optional prefix stripping for clean version output
- Skips pre-release tags (rc, alpha, beta, dev, test)
- Sorts by version (sort -V) to find the latest
- Respects GITHUB_TOKEN for rate limiting

+# Get latest GitHub tag for a repository.
+#
+# Description:
+#   - Queries the GitHub API for tags (not releases)
+#   - Useful for repos that only create tags, not full releases
+#   - Supports optional prefix filter and version-only extraction
+#   - Returns the latest tag name (printed to stdout)
+#
+# Usage:
+#   MONGO_VERSION=$(get_latest_gh_tag "mongodb/mongo-tools")
+#   LATEST=$(get_latest_gh_tag "owner/repo" "v")          # only tags starting with "v"
+#   LATEST=$(get_latest_gh_tag "owner/repo" "" "true")     # strip leading "v"
+#
+# Arguments:
+#   $1 - GitHub repo (owner/repo)
+#   $2 - Tag prefix filter (optional, e.g. "v" or "100.")
+#   $3 - Strip prefix from result (optional, "true" to strip $2 prefix)
+#
+# Returns:
+#   0 on success (tag printed to stdout), 1 on failure
+#
+# Notes:
+#   - Skips tags containing "rc", "alpha", "beta", "dev", "test"
