Temporarily add config and use it to use change_tag_def table instead of change_tag table for Special:Tags

Description

Special:Tags is one of the slowest special pages as a consequence of the change_tag table not being normalized. We can wait until the migration is completely done or deviate a little bit from the migration plan and introduce another (also temporarily) config variable to read from change_tag_def table when we are at MIGRATION_WRITE_BOTH state and the maintenance script has been ran. This is such a low-hanging and big fruit that I failed to resist the temptation and suggested it to our PM and she agreed we can do it. Basically, it fixes a user-facing issue while the backend migration is still in progress.
