Description
Popular tags are causing two problems right now: they are taking up a lot of space and skewing the tag counts.
To solve this, let's randomize the "popular" tags section, and then hide it completely once the user has "recent" tags to use.
I believe that logic for randomizing already exists when the user opens any "add trackable" select component. It takes a random selection from the top 100 instances of the given trackable.

Research direction
Start at the add trackable select component, where the issue says random selection from the top 100 already exists, and trace how the popular tags section is rendered. The work is done when popular tags are randomized and the section is hidden once recent tags are available; the payload names no specific files or tests.
