#1198: Plugins/themes API should report available tags

 I have a number of wp-cli scripts that I use to help me maintain client
 installations. One common task is to compare installed plugin/theme
 versions against available updates, and only to update if the available
 updates match a version whitelist (eg, 3.5.6 can be updated to 3.5.8 but
 not 3.6.1). Currently, the API doesn't return info about available
 versions - just the latest/stable. My workaround is to scrape
 `plugins.svn.wordpress.org/plugin-name/tags` using `svn_ls()` (ugh) or
 `DOMDocument` (double ugh).

 Could we include an array of tags in API requests? Perhaps it'd be turned
 off by default, to preserve bandwidth, but available when sending a
 specific flag?
