Fix leaky view tags
The implementation of the method View#setTag(int, Object) stored tag
objects as entries in a static WeakHashMap associated with the View as
a key. This was problematic for any tag object that stored a hard
reference back to the View the tag was placed on, as it would cause
the WeakReference key to never be collected and the entry to persist
forever.
This was particularly nasty if an app used a keyed tag to store a
ViewHolder object referencing child views for use in the Adapter
implementaion for an AdapterView, since child views will always have
hard references leading back to the parent.
