- cleanup the build tools

Remove the old Tags scripts that used it
where
@brianteeman I guess my comment is confusing, I mean there are 2 files (build/media_source/legacy/js/ajax-chosen.es5.js, build/media_source/legacy/js/joomla-chosen.es5.js) that depend on chosen and these are removed. Joomla 4+ doesn't use anywhere chosen thus chosen and the 2 files are removed. Also cleaned up any scripts that had chosen references
I assumed you referred to \build\media_source\system\js\fields\tag.es5.js which appears to use chosen and is not touched by this PR

That's the other part of the J3 tags that obviously I missed! Thanks

Thank you to all involved, good job
@dgrammatiko @Fedik Can the media/vendor/chosen folder be removed on update? Or do we have to keep it? Am asking because working on the deleted files and folders lists in script.php.
@richard67 not only "can it" but "it must be removed" otherwise we are leaving files behind that might be exposed as being vulnerable in the future and we wouldnt do anything about it because we wouldnt know
We should delete it
