Data tags created via API don't show up in graph view until view refresh

[utkonos]

Version and Platform (required):

• Binary Ninja Version: 5.1.7383
• OS: macOS
• OS Version: 15.4.1
• CPU Architecture: x64

Bug Description:
If a tag is created at a binaryview address using the Python API, the Graph view does not show the tag at that location until after the view is refreshed for another reason.

Steps To Reproduce:

1. Change to Graph View of Disassembly
2. Create a custom tag at an address using API: bv.add_tag(addr, tag_name, tag_data)
3. Notice that the tag did not appear even though it exists.

Expected Behavior:
View redrawn with the new tag visible.

Screenshots/Video Recording:
Here I am showing tags at the location and there is no tag in the Graph view behind the popup window.

Adding tags to a function should be done via Function.add_tag instead of BinaryView.add_tag. The latter is used for data tags only, though imo data tags should still be shown in functions so I'm going to rename this issue to track that

Thanks. The tag does show up eventually, once it refreshes (like close the database and reopen or maybe other reasons locally).
