[master] Catalog tag search still uses removed description columns

Product and article tags were moved to the tag, product_to_tag, and article_to_tag tables. PR #15640 fixed the clean installation, but the catalog still queries the removed product_description.tag and article_description.tag columns.
Affected code
- Product filtering:
getProducts()andgetTotalProducts() - Product tag display:
catalog/controller/catalog/product.php - Article filtering:
getArticles()andgetTotalArticles() - Article tag display:
catalog/controller/cms/article.php
Expected behavior
Keep the existing tag search URL unchanged:
index.php?route=product/search&tag=Tag NameUpdate the catalog queries and tag loading to use the new relation tables. No catalog code should query the removed description columns.
