Describe the bug

After a link directly from a Pinboard RSS feed, the link has a single tag, which is all the Pinboard tags joined by hyphens.

ArchiveBox appears to be taking Pinboard's whitespace-separated tag list and, rather than splitting on whitespace, replacing spaces by hyphens.

Example: given this Pinboard link: https://pinboard.in/u:cdzombak/b:f06aca53892f with several tags…

ArchiveBox imported the tags like this:

Steps to reproduce

Import some tagged Pinboard links using the pinboard-rss parser: curl -s https://feeds.pinboard.in/rss/secret:REMOVED/u:cdzombak/ | docker-compose -f ~/docker-compose.yml run --rm archivebox add --parser=pinboard_rss
Observe that the imported links are not tagged correctly

I'm going to merge this with #725 as it seems this and similar issues are affecting tag-splitting across multiple parsers and I might as well fix them all together.
