[Registry-dev] deleting tags

[Chathura C. Ekanayake]

There is a requirement from the Mashup team for admin users to be able 
to remove tags done by all users. This is not possible with the current 
implementation, as it only removes the tag done by the admin user.

We can change the "void removeTag(String path, String tag)" 
implementation to remove all instances of the "tag" on resource at 
"path", if the current user is admin (or a user in admin role). I think 
it is acceptable allow admin to remove tags done by all users.

Thoughts...

Thanks,
Chathura
