Show the user suggestions in the edit tags dialog #6468

Problem: To address the most trivial poisoning attacks, we decided that a particular tag will only be displayed when two identities have suggested it (thresholding). However, the chance that two users independently come up with the same tags for the same content is rather low. Even with a threshold of 2, I predict that much content will remain visibly untagged.

Potential solution: We can help the user by showing tags that have been suggested by other users but don't have enough support yet (i.e., haven't reached the threshold). This indication (e.g., "Suggestions: X, Y, Z" or "Suggested by others: A, B, C") should be part of the dialog where a user can add/remove tags, for example, below the input field. To prevent visual clutter, we should limit the number of suggestions shown.

Just put the tags semi-transparent or greyed-out. That will save some space and mental energy.
