python: remove Tags().__len__() implementation

len() exhausts the tag iterator and e.g. list() or "".join(tags)
implicitly call len() if existing and then failing. So, we remove
Tags.__len__().

If you need to know the number of tags a message has, do use
len(list(tags)). It would be nicer to be able to support len() directly...
