Bug #4603
InputTag string parsing breaks for empty instance name
Description
Hi,
InputTag.h promises to parse strings in the form "label:instance:process".
That indeed works for input strings like "g4run:aaa:MyProcess".
However data products with an empty instance name are not treated properly.
A string "g4run::MyProcess" gives InputTag with instance=MyProcess instead
of the requested emtpy instance name.

Behavior verified and localized to behavior of general utility function cet::split. Unfortunately, a survey of use of cet::split() elsewhere indicates that the behavior here found to be undesirable is actually required other places it is used. This means that the undesirable behavior should be addressed in art::InputTag, probably by using some other method than cet::split(). Otherwise, one could envisage an overload of cet::split() taking a dummy extra argument (say, cet::empty_fields) with the desired behavior.

Call the correct Boost function instead of writing our own. Fix and test with bd636eb.
