[Feature Request] Please allow Org tags and Anki tags.

[JayDugger]

Since 66889e6 on 2018-05-06, anki-editor only uses Org tags for tags in Anki notes. Please either allow users to revert to the old behavior or allow users to choose from both Org tags and from Anki tags.

I have tried using anki-editor since the 2018-05-06 change, and afterwards tagging notes from anki-editor gave poor results for two main reasons.

First, it conflicted with the popular Anki add-on Hierarchical Tags. That add-on allows tag hierarchies with the double colon "::" for the default divider. This obviously conflicts with Org's requirement that "tags must be preceded and followed by a single colon". For the record, hierarchical tags worked fine before the "Use Org tags as Anki tags" change.

Second, my Org tags and my Anki tags have very few common members. In fact, they come from different controlled vocabularies. The common Anki tags "marked" and "leech" appear nowhere in my Org tags. The common Org tags "@home" and "@work" appear nowhere in my Anki tags. Before the change anki-editor kept the two sets of tags separate by having Anki tags in Org properties.

Thanks for the feedback, I didn't expect removing Anki tags from properties to cause these inconveniences. I made that change just because using Org tags looks more natural and providing different ways of setting tags is not necessary and could cause confusion. Now I see that both ways have pros and cons, I will add the tag property back in the next update.
