(tree) branch

BUR #6462 has been approved by @evazion.

create alias tree_branch -> branch

There isn't any distinction being made in how these tags are used or in their wikis, and I can't see what kind of distinction would be worth enforcing.

Most (almost all) branches are from trees. Most of the posts under branch are probably tree branches.

If the branch is attached to a visible tree, then tree + branch should always suffice. If tree + branch isn't applicable, then neither is tree branch, and branch alone will be good enough.

I'd like it to be the other way around.
So you can tell instantly how this tag's to be used: For tree branches.

Branches itself is too ambiguous, just from an outside look at it.

They could be bush branches. post #4352276 for example.

This is basically why I did it this way rather than the reverse. "Tree branch" also isn't really what naturally comes to mind when you see something small and handheld like post #4630210. Plus, I don't think branch is particularly ambiguous. What else could it mean? A branch of a bank?
