Reason: Any "*_flag_bikini" falls under the umrella flag_bikini

EDIT: The bulk update request #1835 (forum #324403) has been approved by @slyroon.

I checked flag_bikini -american_flag_bikini -russian_flag_bikini -australian_flag_bikini -union_jack_bikini -canadian_flag_bikini -confederate_flag_bikini and found these:

imply texas_flag_bikini -> flag_bikini
imply german_flag_bikini -> flag_bikini
imply french_flag_bikini -> flag_bikini
imply mexican_flag_bikini -> flag_bikini
imply chinese_flag_bikini -> flag_bikini
imply swedish_flag_bikini -> flag_bikini

Post counts:
texas: 7 german: 6 french: 4 mexican: 4 chinese: 2 swedish: 1

I checked the tag search engine and found usa_bikini. Since both american_flag and usa_flag are aliased to stars_and_stripes, I suggest

alias american_flag_bikini -> stars_and_stripes_bikini
alias usa_bikini -> stars_and_stripes_bikini
imply stars_and_stripes_bikini -> flag_bikini

Other minor issues I think are more trouble to solve than they're worth

post #504027 post #2816389 No stars, only red white and blue stripes. Lore/context suggests american flag bikini, but should maybe be tagged under whatever country that actually is? If it even exists.
post #1590038 post #683626 american_flag_bikini with no stripes; that is, only the blue with white stars.
By TWYS, all of the posts under mexican_flag_bikini are actually italian flags. However, you can make the argument that the central crest has just been omitted, esp. given the allowances given for american_flag_bikini to e.g. move elements around.
post #940421 where it's more of an american_flag_speedo than a bikini lol

I'm open to discussion about it, but the direction I was going when tagging American Flag bikinis was that they had to have both the blue field with stars, and the stripes to count; similar to how red, white, and blue bunting isn't a flag (although technically if it doesn't have 50 stars and 13 stripes it's not an "American Flag" either). Preferably multiple stars, although with enough stripes I did assume some of the single star bikinis were American rather than Texan.

I neglected to include the Texas, German, and Mexican flags so I'd be fine with including those. Not sure if I have to edit the original BUR or if there's a way to append it to this thread. The french flags are all from the same set so I was wary about creating that tag. Similarly with the Chinese and Swedish flags, not sure if creating a tag for just one or two images was Kosher.

I opted to just work with the existing American_flag_bikini since I wasn't sure if it made more sense to alias it in line with the flag, or if it was odd that almost all of the other counrty flags were *country*_flag rather than *nickname* (aside from union_jack), and whether should be reversed.

Update: added a few more
