Title: Modify tags to allow for admin / mod specific tags (like 'announcements')

Since a large percentage of users seem to have opted out of the 'meta' tag, there should probably be an announcements tag that is only available to admins, and possibly moderators, for the sole purpose of conveying relevant site announcements that all users should see, such as new feature announcements or policy changes. This commit accomplishes this by adding a 'private' attribute to tags. Private tags would allow admins to create tags that only admins could use, and that regular users could not filter. The best example use case for this is an 'announements' tag for site announements that all users should see.
