"setblock #tag`" should use random block from this tag

So, let's say that you for example have tag #datapack:obsidian, which contains minecraft:crying_obsidian and minecraft:obsidian.

Using setblock ~ ~ ~ #datapack:obsidian will setblock or crying obsidian, or obsidian - 50% chance of getting crying obsidian or obsidian

Or, another example - using setblock ~ ~ ~ #minecraft:wool will setblock random wool color

This can be very helpful for datapacks and map making.

  This would also be incredibly handy for datapack creators to interface with mods, as we can say to set a block, but then use the required: false in the block tag itself.
  
  That way if the mod isn't installed, the datapack doesn't error out.
