A common problem with OSM is the overload of information that beginners get. Most maps don't use all of the tags, so this adds an optional button to auto-disable any tags that are not used in your map selection. This prevents the "click-then-squint" pattern of trying to see what, if anything, changed in the map
I can't think of a reason someone would enable this option, so I just made it the default from now on
The user interface is the only one that actually needs this cache, and it's the best positioned to understand when it needs to be refreshed (when the file is reloaded). This commit also handles ensuring we disable the parent items, and also that we don't get a crash if there are no enabled parents

PR adds a new feature - each time you reload the OSM file, it will scan the file for all tag key/value pairs. Any tag pairs not found will be disabled in the GUI, making it far easier to see what options you could tweak to change the render of this specific OSM datafile. It does not actually change your config settings, e.g. disabled options are not unchecked
IMO this addresses a common problem with OSM data for beginners - the overload of available information
