fix: PermitScrubber accepts frozen tags

Previously, if an invalid/unsafe tag was present, the scrubber
attempted to modify the tags array. Now it properly copies the tags
when they are assigned.

Fixes #195

(cherry picked from commit 9a1e376)

+  v1.6.1 introduced safety checks that may remove unsafe tags from the allowed list, which
+  introduced a regression for applications passing a frozen array of allowed tags. Tags and
+  attributes are now properly copied when they are passed to the scrubber.
