Code cleanup and technical improvements
This change removes a recently added filter that tried to detect and block bots from crawling tag pages. The filter was not reliable, and keeping it in place could still allow unwanted indexing while making maintenance harder, so it has been rolled back until a better solution is found.
Original PR description
This reverts [1] because the is_a_bot check is not reliable. Many crawlers spoof user agents or ignore robots rules, so they still index every tag combination and overload tag clouds. We revert while we look for a better protection. [1]: 4b1c3bfa83af2b1851db62df5aca4d5777a3d88c Forward-Port-Of: odoo/odoo#234278
