Entity Tagging

Credit to @Random for his Map options for alliances idea. Specifically:

@Random

Once these families have been given a tag you can toggle, like all the other search terms, which ones you would like to see on the map.

Or have unlimited tags for players, then being able to make unlimited? Options for map lists.

Tagging enemies and allies would be very useful, but there are uses beyond the map too, and this could replace the current bookmark functionality with something far more useful.

We can start with players, and then families, but eventually we should be able to tag planets and systems too. That way you could, for example, tag a planet or system to always watch regardless of who owns it, and in a list view as well as the map view.

This also relates to some other ideas:

• This would also serve the need described in Notes column on planet page.
• Tagged planets could eventually be “listable” for sharable map views as described in Planet list manager.
• We could associate colors (or markers, for the color-blind) with tags to better support Color Coded Planets in System View.
• Smart Planet Lists could “auto-tag” and use some of the same view functionality that would be built here.
• Similarly, Family plists could be accomplished with auto-tagging.

These are all extra things that aren’t required to get this out, but should be considered as complimentary functionality.
