deprecate antique_telephone
ambiguous. mostly being used for candlestick phones or particularly vintage corded phones. not sure if the latter case like post #6396371 need a more specific tag (there are a lot of similar-looking Google results) but antique telephone is a bit too generic.

It's just an early cradle phone before plastic cradle phones were developed. For whatever reason it seems a lot of people are referring to them as a "French Style" phone.

create alias antique_telephone -> antique_phone
create implication rotary_phone -> antique_phone
create implication candlestick_phone -> antique_phone
if people would like an umbrella tag more. not sure how far back should be considered "antique", so I just went with the three types already being tagged. also renamed antique telephone to match our phone tags.
update: removed imply corded phone -> antique phone
Updated
Should reconsider the corded_phone -> antique_phone implication. There are still plenty of modern phones that will be corded, especially payphones, office phones, and emergency phones.

True, and antique phone can always be added afterwards if the corded phone is old enough.
