Disable conflicting encode options when marshaling cbor.Tag.

Encode options, especially those that control the mapping from Go type to CBOR type, can result in
output containing tag validity errors. For tag numbers that are built in, it's possible to "do the
right thing" and override those options on a case-by-case basis. This can't and does not prevent tag
validity errors for unrecognized tag numbers.
