Description
When user taps to add a new tag on "Manage Topics & Sites" ("Followed Topics" tab) it takes a while to update the tags list. This happens because we wait for the network response and also the local DB update before updating the UI.
We should update the UI immediately after the the user taps on the add button and if the network request fails we show the previous status.

Research direction
Start at the Manage Topics & Sites screen, specifically the Followed Topics tab, and trace the add-tag action through its network request and local database update. The work is done when the tag list updates immediately after tapping and reverts to its previous status if the network request fails.
