travis-ci: skip a branch build if equal tag is present

If we push a branch and a tag pointing to the HEAD of this branch,
then Travis CI would run the build twice. This wastes resources and
slows the testing.

Add a function to detect this situation and skip the build the branch
if appropriate. Invoke this function on every build.

# Travis gives a tagname e.g. v2.14.0 in $TRAVIS_BRANCH when
# the build is triggered by a push to a tag. Let's see if
# $TRAVIS_BRANCH is exactly at a tag, and if so, if it is
# different from $TRAVIS_BRANCH. That way, we can tell if
# we are building the tip of a branch that is tagged and
# we can skip the build because we won't be skipping a build
# of a tag.
