[PATCH 14/16] tag-util: optimization of tag application

From: David Bremner <bremner at debian.org>

The idea is not to bother with restore operations if they don't change
the set of tags. This is actually a relatively common case.

In order to avoid fancy datastructures, this method is quadratic in
the number of tags; at least on my mail database this doesn't seem to
be a big problem.
