[File Explorer Add-ons] Support of tags

[mawic]

It would be awesome if File Explorer supports tags:

• As a user, I want to assign different tags to a file or a folder. For easier handling, the ribbon bar shall provide some buttons so that I can assign some tags without a lot of effort.
• As a user, I want to click on a file/folder and assign one or more tags to the file/folder.
• As a user, I want to search for a tag or several tags on my computer to find files with the same tags from different folders.
• As a user, I want to customize my tags.

Why is it necessary?
There are use cases in which a folder structure is not working. A good example is document management.

If the file explorer has such a feature, it will be a good document management system.

I use labels or tags sometimes too. Some file types support them, some don't. Unfortunately. For the ones that do support: pretty much all of your points are possible. Am I right when I interpret your request to make a new file/folder tagging system? Or build something on top of the existing, native structure?

I've seen a few file/folder organizing apps that deal with this being mentioned in other issues already. One example is Folder Marker (http://foldermarker.com/en).

Also related to #6157 and #150.
