feat(tag-kinds): drop meta + rating entirely — alembic 0023 deletes existing meta/rating tags (CASCADE clears related image_tag / alias / allowlist / suggestion_rejection / reference_embedding / series_page rows) then recreates the tag_kind ENUM without those values. Python TagKind enum trimmed; KIND_OPTIONS + KIND_COLOR + KIND_ICONS maps + TagsView KINDS array all updated. Operator confirmed they have no use for the data.
