Convert tag objects to a safer type
Currently, we keep information about the "target" of a tag operation
in a data type similar to (TagKind, Maybe String). This is unsafe, as
nothing (at the type level) prevents us from accidentally having
(TagCluster, Just "instance1.example.com"), or (TagInstance, Nothing).
To fix this problem, we rename the current TagObject type to TagType
(an internal utility type), and create TagObject as a better/safer
data type (see the definition), which doesn't allow such possibilities
in the future.
The downside is that, since at encoding level (both opcode and luxi)
this is done in an ugly way (type elements spread at the same level as
level as other value), we have to add custom encoders/decoders. The
encoder is shared between the OpCode and Luxi usage, the decoder is
different however as Luxi uses custom decoding.
This also fixes the recent breakage in confd w.r.t. QueryTags.
