Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
There is no type of tag that can be created from the administrator, assigned by the user, but not editable by the user. If I create a tag for the retention app with name "delete after 7 days", everyone can rename this to "delete after 30 days" or "very important, do not delete!"

Describe the solution you'd like
Create a new tag type: protected

Describe alternatives you've considered
protect renaming of tags if they are assigned to retention rules or somthing like that

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by locating the existing tag and retention-rule handling, then determine how a protected tag would be created by an administrator, assigned by users, and kept non-editable; done means users cannot rename it while administrators retain control.
