state: allow untagging nodes via reauth with empty RequestTags

When a node re-authenticates via OIDC/web auth with empty RequestTags
(from `tailscale up --advertise-tags= --force-reauth`), remove all tags
and return ownership to the authenticating user.

This allows nodes to transition from any tagged state (including nodes
originally registered with a tagged pre-auth key) back to user-owned.

Fixes #2979

User-owned nodes can now request tags during registration using `--advertise-tags`. Tags are validated against the `tagOwners` policy
and applied at registration time. Tags can be managed via the CLI or API after registration.

- **API**: The Node message in the gRPC/REST API has been simplified - the `ForcedTags`, `InvalidTags`, and `ValidTags` fields have been removed and replaced with a single `Tags` field that contains the node's applied tags [#2993](https://github.com/juanfont/headscale/pull/2993)
- API clients should use the `Tags` field instead of `ValidTags`
- The `headscale nodes list` CLI command now always shows a Tags column and the `--tags` flag has been removed
- **Tags**: The gRPC `SetTags` endpoint now allows converting user-owned nodes to tagged nodes by setting tags. Once a node is tagged, it cannot be converted back to a user-owned node. [#2885](https://github.com/juanfont/headscale/pull/2885)
