Description

### Current Behavior

I've encountered what appears to be a bug with the tag management when uploading BOMs via the API. When using the PUT `/api/v1/bom` endpoint with the `projectTags `parameter, tags are correctly applied on initial project creation but are not updated on subsequent uploads.

Seems the same as https://github.com/DependencyTrack/dependency-track/issues/4539 but on `/api/v1/bom` API.

### Steps to Reproduce

Make an initial API call to PUT /api/v1/bom with the following parameters:

```
{
"projectName": "subProject",
"projectVersion": "prod",
"parentName": "parentProject",
"projectTags": ["tag1"],
"autoCreate": true,
"bom": "ewogICJib21Gb3JtYXQiOiAiQ3ljbG9uZURYIiwKICAic3BlY1ZlcnNpb24iOiAiMS40IiwKICAiY29tcG9uZW50cyI6IFsKICAgIHsKICAgICAgInR5cGUiOiAibGlicmFyeSIsCiAgICAgICJuYW1lIjogImFjbWUtbGliIiwKICAgICAgInZlcnNpb24iOiAiMS4wLjAiCiAgICB9CiAgXQp9"
}
```

2. Verify that the project is created with the tag "tag1"
3. Make a second API call with modified tags:

```
{
"projectName": "subProject",
"projectVersion": "prod",
"parentName": "parentProject",
"projectTags": ["tag1", "tag2"],
"autoCreate": true,
"bom": "ewogICJib21Gb3JtYXQiOiAiQ3ljbG9uZURYIiwKICAic3BlY1ZlcnNpb24iOiAiMS40IiwKICAiY29tcG9uZW50cyI6IFsKICAgIHsKICAgICAgInR5cGUiOiAibGlicmFyeSIsCiAgICAgICJuYW1lIjogImFjbWUtbGliIiwKICAgICAgInZlcnNpb24iOiAiMS4wLjAiCiAgICB9CiAgXQp9"
}
```

4. Observe that the project tags remain unchanged (still only "tag1")

### Expected Behavior

When uploading a BOM with updated tags, the project's tags should be updated to match the new set provided in the API call.
