Description

https://github.com/apache/incubator-beam/pull/1044 made StateTag in some cases ignore the state kind (user/system). This is currently harmless, because there is no user-facing API for defining state anyway, so conflicts between user/system state can't happen.

[~kenn] says this should be solved by removing StateTag entirely (along with state kinds).

Imported from Jira [BEAM-750](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-750). Original Jira may contain additional context.
Reported by: jkff.
