The admin user isn't created with the correct password

I can't access the RabbitMQ admin API using the admin credentials while it's working with the guest creds.

# salt 'ctl01*' pillar.items rabbitmq

                    admin
                password:
                    workshop

@cznewt @fpytloun did you already know about this issue? do you think it is a bug in the upstream rabbitmq_user state?

The problem is in the rabbitmq Salt module that doesn't handle properly a list of tags. See https://github.com/tcpcloud/salt-formula-rabbitmq/pull/21 for a temporary workaround. I'm going to file a bug againt Salt.
