#6114: Excluded/not-displayed tags get returned in API & used for search

 If a plugin has a tag of `super-unique-plugin`, we don't show that on the
 plugins page, we only show tags that are used by more than 1 plugin.

 However, these unique tags are still included in the search index & also
 returned in the API responses.

 Questions:
  - Is this a problem?
  - Should we be excluding these tags from search?
  - Should we be excluding these tags from the API response to WordPress?
