Feature Description

Currently, only releases created using the web interface can create annotated tags.
It would be nice to have that option available to releases created via the API, as well. Currently, only lightweight tags will be created.

From the API code:

if err := release_service.CreateRelease(ctx.Repo.GitRepo, rel, nil, ""); err != nil {

Where the "" passed argument is the "msg" parameter that would be used to create an annotated tag message, if it wasn't blank.
