Short tag

[vsnichols]

Component name: Short tag

Copied from previous issue from 2019 that was not carried to new repo and had design support from Carbon design

Why the change is necessary:

The Carbon 10 tag is significantly taller (24px) than in Carbon 9 (20px). It does not fit comfortably into the short or compact data tables or the small search field, which means that those elements are unusable if tags need to be incorporated. We are proposing an 18px high tag to allow for sufficient spacing in both situations.

This is especially important now that users can edit their row height on CloudPAL using the new table settings feature.

Research supporting change:

We have heard from our users that they like data density, and that short tables help them scan information faster. During PUP, most users we talked with preferred the short table for resource list, which is why we implemented it. Many users we talk with seem to be using smaller desktop devices.
