With the built-in completion, org-set-tags-command already supports
completing multiple tags.  So that aim reduces to using
completing-read-multiple because other completion libraries are more
likely to play nicely with crm.

At the moment that's not mentioned in the commit message (and, less
importantly, it wasn't mentioned in the message introducing the patch),
but in my view that aim should be the emphasis of the commit message.
It'd be good to note the popular completion libraries that don't work
out of the box with the current approach, and whether they do after this
patch.

It's also probably worth mentioning why org-tags-completion-function is
still passed as the completion function to completing-read-multiple, as
the completion function's main purpose of completing multiple tags could
now be fulfilled by completing-read-multiple alone.  And what about the
other spots that use org-tags-completion-function?

Thanks.
