I think this is the wrong fix - doing "make replace" should clear those
tags.  While pkg_rolling-replace is the primary (and now only) consumer
of the tags, I wanted the system to be such that all the basic
operations respected the invariants on tags.  This enables one to 'make
replace' and later run pkg_rolling-replace, and not lose the information
that dependencies need updating.  So, make replace, run independently of
pkg_rr should do the right thing, which is to clear both those tags.

So instead, perhaps pkg_rr should assert that the tags are gone after
replacing, and make replace should be fixed to unset these tags.  I
gather it used to lose all tags, and now preserves them.

Later, I'd like to have unsafe_depends and unsafe_depends_strict, with
both being set for ABI-changing updates and only the latter if the
package claims not to have an ABI change.  This way pkg_rolling-replace
can avoid much rebuilding, but take a flag to clean the
unsafe_depends_strict flags if something is broken.

That's of course fine.

Thanks for working on pkg_rolling-replace - it's great to see both
someone else using it and it getting improved.
