Slack command to un(watch|follow|mute) tag or category

[mcwumbly (Dave McClure)]

There should probably be a command to un(watch|follow|mute) tags and categories explicitly.

Test cases:

/discourse watch foo #watching category foo
/discourse watch bar #watching catgeory foo and bar
/discourse unwatch too #watching category bar

/discourse watch tag:foo #watching tag foo
/discourse watch tag:bar #watching tag foo and bar
/discourse unwatch tag:foo #watching tag bar

---

And perhaps this is a separate feature request, but what about updating the status for one tag? I think today it may do this:

/discourse watch tag:foo #watching tag foo
/discourse watch tag:bar #watching tag foo and bar
/discourse follow tag:foo 
#watching tag foo and bar, following tag foo

Instead of this:

/discourse watch tag:foo #watching tag foo
/discourse watch tag:bar #watching tag foo and bar
/discourse follow tag:foo 
#watching tag bar, following tag foo

A bunch of other issues have now been fixed:

• `/discourse status` slack command does not show tags - #4 by mcwumbly
• Cannot watch multiple tags using slash command - #7 by mcwumbly
• Slack (official plugin) sending topics from staff categories - #11 by mcwumbly
• `/discourse status` should only show the status for the current channel - #5 by mcwumbly

This is the only one I see remaining that really prevents the plugin from being manageable for sites integrating with a slack instance that has 100’s of channels where admins need to enable users to have the ability to use the slack command as a self-service means to choose what kinds of topics their channels are subscribed to.
