Puzzle link should be a tag #139

The "link to the puzzle on the hunt site" (puzzle.link in the database currently) should be a tag, not a direct field. And in fact, everything that accepts tags (including round groups?) should handle 'link' tags. (Perhaps even including Nicks?)

From @nothorian in #81:

Links to the hunt site should be editable by more people. There were several puzzles this year (notably metas like Red and White Knights and The Caucus Race) that did not go to the right page and got 404s. People requested a link correction in main chat and it was acknowledged that it would be corrected but it never was.

Bonus points if on puzzle creation if the link is checked to see if it is a 404 error and raises an alert to the admins if so. That way links are identified almost immediately and can be corrected.

(Oh, and puzzle tags should be editable from the blackboard as well as directly from the puzzle page.)
