Feature Description

gitea version: 1.20.5

When the tag protection is enabled it is currently not possible to create new tags.
We would like to be able to create new tags but protect existing tags.
Because overwriting existing tags may break dependencies that rely on existing tags it is considered a more privileged operation .

E.g an account for a CI system should be able to create new release tags but should never be able to overwrite existing tags.
