Add ability to delete tags

[cgswong]

I sometimes refactor code and completely change my tagging style (from say v4.0 to 4.0), or just want to remove a beta tag once the code is released so that is no longer available. I understand this may impact downstream users using the previous tags but I think it would still be good to delete tags without making a support request.

This functionality was at least available in the old UI. It has always (frustratingly) been manual-only¹, but not even that is available in the "beta". 😞

¹ By which I mean curl -X DELETE ... --user ... https://index.docker.io/v1/repositories/<OWNER>/<REPO>/tags/<TAG> doesn't work. It results in a 403 Forbidden error. See also moby/moby#8759.

+1, this is pretty important functionality.

Seems like some older tags are being automatically wiped out? Is there some undocumented limit? Since it's still not possible to manage your own tags this is a huge problem.

@kunickiaj See #194. We show only 100 tags at a time in the web interface. Is the assumption of older tags not available coming from just the UI or does your pull not work for example with the older tags? And, this should discussed in a different issue, if #194 is not the case for you.
