I closed this PR because I think using the official ctags file format is "the 
future" and that we should ship those with Geany and encourage users to use it. 
The TM tag file format is good for our unit tests so we know to what internal 
value the mapping happened.

The idea was that if we found the original ctags kind in the file, we would use 
that one and perform the mapping based on the current mapping tables used in 
Geany - the same thing we do already for ctags files. If not found, we'd use 
the "legacy" `tm_tag_...` value stored in the file.
