Mathy Vanvoorden ca0ba818b7 feat: Add nesting of tags in a tree
- levels are joined by forward slashes in the keywords
- behaviour is opt-in for now
- long paths are shortened if there is not enough display room

Closes #687.

/**
* Tag nesting.
*
* A tag is stored on the server as the JMAP keyword `$label:<id>`, where `id`
* is a slug derived from the display name. Nesting reuses that single id: the
* levels are joined with a forward slash, so `$label:work/clients` is the child
* of `$label:work`. Keeping the hierarchy inside the id means the server stays
* the source of truth for tag membership and existing lookups by keyword keep
* working.
*
* RFC 8621 section 4.1.1 allows a keyword of 1-255 characters from the ASCII
* range %x21-%x7e minus `( ) { ] % * " \`, so the separator is legal but the
* length of a deep id is not free - `MAX_KEYWORD_ID_LENGTH` is the budget a
* composed id has to stay within.
*
* Turning any of this into text for the screen lives in `keyword-format`.
