Add support for subsets/tags #12

Having a way to have some tags excluded at certain times and included at others would be great. vocalfree and friday tags is probably the ones i would like, but a dynamic way that supports any tags would be best.

pytaglib can already add and read this from the files.

The feature needs to have support for a few things:

If an untagged song is queued, Sonica should ask to add one of the tags active in the current subset (preferably using the enumerator system)
Allow creation of subsets, which is could be combinations of tags like vocalfree - friday to get only songs without vocals that isn't tagged as friday.
Possibly searching via subtags would be wonderful and should be relatively easy to add, but isn't necessary for this issue.

The playlists/tags could be implemented via M3U files, since they are plaintext, widely supported and kinda fits our usecase. The only difference is that m3u files have an order, but we could in theory just sort it. Sometimes we might even want to have order if it's a really curated playlist?
