This will probably depend on Ploum's refactoring, so I'm not fixing it
till it lands in trunk

Bug description:
There should be a checkbox on the tag right-click menu that makes the tag always visible, even if it has no tasks.  

As tasks come and go, sometimes a tag may still be relevant, but all tasks are completed at that moment in time. The next time the user wants to use that tag, they have to type it manually. This would enable the user to make the state of their GTG "workspace" consistent and always be able to use the method of adding tags they are used to (e.g. drag/drop or click on the tag and then quick add). 

It may also help reduce confusion: the user immediately sees "oh, I don't have any @example tasks", instead of "Where did that @example tag go? It's not there ... I guess that means I have no @example tasks"
