Describe the bug

If a archivebox config --set statement contains more than one equal sign the parser fails and the config is not set.

Steps to reproduce

Inside an initialized docker container run the following commands. This is attempting to set the existing defaults for WGET_ARGS.

Fail example:

archivebox@808c94d78e0e:/data$ archivebox config --set 'WGET_ARGS=["--no-verbose","--adjust-extension","--convert-links","--force-directories","--backup-converted","--span-hosts","--no-parent","-e","robots=off"]'
[i] [2020-11-22 05:59:14] ArchiveBox v0.4.21: archivebox config --set WGET_ARGS=["--no-verbose","--adjust-extension","--convert-links","--force-directories","--backup-converted","--span-hosts","--no-parent","-e","robots=off"]
    > /data

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/archivebox", line 33, in <module>
    sys.exit(load_entry_point('archivebox', 'console_scripts', 'archivebox')())
  File "/app/archivebox/cli/__init__.py", line 123, in main
    run_subcommand(
  File "/app/archivebox/cli/__init__.py", line 63, in run_subcommand
    module.main(args=subcommand_args, stdin=stdin, pwd=pwd)    # type: ignore
  File "/app/archivebox/cli/archivebox_config.py", line 50, in main
    config(
  File "/app/archivebox/util.py", line 113, in typechecked_function
    return func(*args, **kwargs)
  File "/app/archivebox/main.py", line 868, in config
    raw_key, val = line.split('=')
ValueError: too many values to unpack (expected 2)

Success example

archivebox@808c94d78e0e:/data$ archivebox config --set 'WGET_ARGS=["--no-verbose","--adjust-extension","--convert-links","--force-directories","--backup-converted","--span-hosts","--no-parent"]'
[i] [2020-11-22 05:59:21] ArchiveBox v0.4.21: archivebox config --set WGET_ARGS=["--no-verbose","--adjust-extension","--convert-links","--force-directories","--backup-converted","--span-hosts","--no-parent"]
    > /data

WGET_ARGS=['--no-verbose', '--adjust-extension', '--convert-links', '--force-directories', '--backup-converted', '--span-hosts', '--no-parent']
