[API] doesn't allow listing nodes that match a set of tags

[Jason Hobbs]

Right now the MAAS API only allows listing nodes per tag. If you want to list nodes that match multiple tags, you have to either make multiple calls to the nodes api, one per tag, and find the intersection manually, or list all nodes and then manually filter which ones have all the tags.

In oil, we're doing the latter.

The api should be enhanced to allow looking for an intersection of tags, or possibly even expressions of tags

I would propose that "maas maas nodes list tags_name=TAG" should filter the results so that only nodes that have a tag of "TAG" are returned in the response. The documentation seems to imply that this is possible here: https://maas.ubuntu.com/docs/maascli.html. It states:
        Filter the list using specific key/value pairs:
             $ maas maas nodes list architecture="i386/generic"
But this doesn't work. All the nodes are returned no matter what comes after "list" on the command line.
