tags: improve documentation

The documentation for tags.py was making comprehension difficult.
This patch rewrites most of the comments in the file to make it easier
for mere mortals to understand what's going on.

        CPython's open() returns a file that was opened *without* setting the

        This even happens if any hardlinked copy of the file is in open state.
        We set _FILE_SHARE_DELETE here, so files opened with posixfile can be
        renamed and deleted while they are held open.
        Note that if a file opened with posixfile is unlinked, the file
        remains but cannot be opened again or be recreated under the same name,
        until all reading processes have closed the file.'''
