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.

/**
* Naming a tag on screen.
*
* A nested tag is written out level by level - `Work/Clients/Acme` - and a flat
* one is simply its own name, so nothing here asks the caller which kind it
* has. `keywordRenderings` additionally offers progressively shorter forms for
* a name with nowhere to fit, which `useShortenedText` measures against the
* room actually available.

/**
* The display name of a tag, one entry per level, outermost first. A tag with
* one level yields a single entry, so callers need not care either way.
*
* `nested` is the user's setting. With nesting off a slash carries no meaning,
* so the id is one opaque token and the tag is named by its own label - nobody
* who left the setting alone should find their tags rewritten because an id
* happens to contain a slash, which can outlast turning nesting off, or arrive
* through settings sync or another client.
*
* With nesting on, each level resolves to that tag's display name, falling back
* to the raw level of the id when it has no definition - the settings list only
* describes the tags this client knows about. Levels stay separate entries
* because a display name may itself contain a slash, which is part of that one
* name rather than a level of its own.

* which branch a tag belongs to and which tag it is, which is exactly what a
* trailing ellipsis destroys. A rendering that would not actually come out
