Summary0025996: Missing tag name in error message when creating issue via REST API
Description

When creating a new issue via REST API with a non-existing tag name, the error message does not include the tag name, which makes it harder to troubleshoot the problem in the payload.

Steps To Reproduce
$ curl --location -w "%{http_code}" --request POST "http://path/to/mantisbt/api/rest/issues/"   --header "Authorization: XXXX"   --header "Content-Type: application/json"   --data "{
  \"summary\": \"Test add issue with tags $(date +%T)\",
  \"description\": \"Test description\",
  \"category\": {
    \"name\": \"General\"
  },
  \"project\": {
    \"name\": \"Test project\"
  }, \"tags\": [ { \"name\": \"xxxx\" }, {} ]
}"

Yields

{"message":"Tag  not found.","code":2200,"localized":"Could not find a tag with that name."}
                ^
                tag name expected here
Additional Information

This problem was also identified by @vboctor in https://github.com/mantisbt/mantisbt/pull/1391#issuecomment-426497674

An orthogonal issue we have is that the tag not found error doesn't include the tag name that isn't found. I haven't changed that as part of this change since this the issue targeted by this issue.

TagsNo tags attached.

The same problem occurs if the user attempting to create the issue does not have the required privileges to create tags, as the code references an undefined $t_new_tag variable.

{"message":"User '41782' can't create tag ''.","code":2200,"localized":"Could not find a tag with that name."}
                                           ^ 
                                           tag name expected here
