Description

## Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

It is possible that questions can be considered different based on tags attached. Adding tags shouldn't become burden while asking questions.

## Describe the solution you'd like

Supporting Tag Hierarchy support.

- it's a group of groups, nothing but Acyclic graphs (i.e. Trees).
- Nodes can also have the same name. for example: Maintenace can be part of system group / infra group etc. in this case using UI dropdown user can select relevant groups based on his question.
- can Also have multiple roots (i.e. graphs / trees) if admin doesn't choose to join them to a single parent.

an Example hierarchy
```
HR
├── location (name)
│ └── sub-location (name)
├── Pay Slip
└── Admin

Infra
├── location (name)
│ └── sub-location (name)
├── admin
└── maintenance
└── prod support
```

If they chose to tag child tag (all the parents would also apply to that question).

It is also helpful for those who take ownership for answering these questions. Tag Hierarchy will enhance question visibility especially when people track questions based on tags

Research direction

The issue does not name files, tests, or entry points. Start by mapping the existing tag model and tag-selection UI, then define how parent and child tags, duplicate names, and multiple roots should work. Done means the hierarchy can be administered and selecting a child applies its parents to a question.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
