Disambiguating various symbol tags

BUR #4928 has been approved by @evazion.

create alias lightning_bolt -> lightning_bolt_symbol
create alias sun_(symbol) -> sun_symbol

To make it clear that it's not to be used for a real lightning bolt.
There may be other symbols that need similar aliases.

EDIT: Added a couple more + sun_(symbol) to make it consistent with the rest of the celestial object symbols.

I wanted to add Ankh, Cross, Inverted Cross, Ouroboros, but they will probably need gardening and a separation between the physical objects and the symbols.

I agree on the lightning bolt, but hammer and sickle has only one meaning, nobody is going to see that tag and think it refers to a literal hammer and sickle together. Same for the rod of asclepius.

To use another political symbol as an example, it's like using swastika symbol over swastika. It's redundant.

I'm in agreement with nnt.

Removed the those two.

Off-topic for this thread, but would it be a good idea to separate the swastika tag to differentiate the Buddhist swastika and Nazi swastika tags, so that there will be a couple of aliases for the latter (ie. reverse_swastika, nazi_symbol, etc)? There are a few posts under swastika, and a swastika is a swastika no matter the orientation, but I'm just testing the waters for this idea.

The existence of star (symbol) makes the move from sun (symbol) over to sun symbol weird to me.

It matches the other astrological symbol tags

The symbol you're referring to is called Manji in japanese, and currently does not have a tag yet.
Maybe we could use that term for the tag?

I do think that the Nazi swastika is searchable with the nazi tag, so you only would have to exclude it to get the Buddhist one. The Nazi swastika is always supposed to be red-white-black.
So I don't think a separation would be good.
