usertags: remove

The golang-github-kyoh86-xdg package ships unmaintained upstream code
from 2020.  It has no reverse dependencies in Debian.

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/golang-github-kyoh86-xdg

The upstream project was archived in 2021:

   https://github.com/kyoh86/xdg
   DEPRECATED: we can use "os.UserXXXDir" instead of this package.

This removal request is part of a larger batch to remove 100+ unused
golang-*-dev packages from Debian.  I believe the QA cost associated
with keeping all of them is larger than the cost of (hopefully extremely
rare) re-introduction of any accidentally removed package if there is
ever any future need for it.  Meanwhile, I don't think it is useful to
keep this package in Debian.
