#4151: Non existing plugin tags should return 404

------------------------------+--------------------
 Non existing tags in the plugin directory return a 200 status code,
 instead of a 404. Examples that Google is trying to index:

 https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/buddypress-directory/
 https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/active-plugins/
 https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/digg-it/
 https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/free-carousel/

 etc.

 Presumably these all have existed at some point, and were removed from a
 plugin, causing them ''not'' to exist anymore. Please make sure they
 return a 404.
