Description (last modified by ryan)

As was done for categories in #4750, let's add private tag__in, tag__and, and tag__not_in query vars.

Let's also decide on how to specify intersections and unions in the public query vars. We have tag_id and tag. tag_id currently takes a single numeric ID, and tag takes a single tag slug. tag is the var we use when creating links and such. tag_id isn't exposed anywhere at the moment. I think we can extend tag to allow the use of "+" to request tag intersections and commas to request unions. Only one or the other can be specified in the same request.

Patch parses "tag" queries that can plus and comma. Intersections are parsed into tag_slug__and and unions are parsed into tag_slug__in. The joins are rather hairy. Don't know if it would be best to get the IDs for the slugs in a separate query to spare the extra join.

Regarding tag_id, I don't think we should ever expose that because I don't think we should ever rely on that ID being static.

It's kinda there mainly for plugins that already have an ID. We could keep it and make it private.
