-----------------------------+----------------------
 When a theme submits an update, if it has a tag in it's list that's
 unknown by WordPress.org/themes, it'll fail to update the tags.

 For example:
  - Theme v1 has `one-column, green` (all allowed)
  - Theme v2 changes it to `one-column, blue, sillytag` (First two allowed,
 last not)

 The theme in the above example will continue to show as being tagged `one-
 column, green` despite the following version changed to `blue`.

 It should diff the tags to the expected tags first, in this case,
 attempting to set it to `one-column, blue` excluding the `sillytag` tag.

 In this case, the error is something like this:
 {{{
 wp> wp_set_post_tags( 12345, [ 'one-column', 'blue', 'sillytag' ] );

 class WP_Error#5234 (3) {
   public $errors =>
   array(1) {
     'not-allowed' =>
     array(1) {
       [0] =>
       string(33) "You are not allowed to add terms."
 }}}
