Summary
Add add and delete tags on a workbook as a direct API call instead of indirectly updating a workbook because permissions may allow users to change tags but not update the workbook.
The current REST API calls of adding/deleting a tag on a workbook

Description
To update tags in a workbook, the current method is update the tags on a workbook then update the workbook: workbooks.update(workbook_item). The main problem is the user must have update permissions on the workbook but changing the tags is a different permission. Currently users may have ability to change tags but not update the workbook.
The proposal is to either add new function calls like workbooks.add_tag(workbook_id, tag) and worbooks.delete_tag(workbook_id, tag) or handle it using a combination call but separate from update() like workbooks.update_tags(workbook_id, tags[]).
