remove alias copyright_notice -> watermark

A copyright notice (e.g., in post #4258988, post #4440253, and post #4444544) can be easily distinguished from a watermark (e.g. in post #4406223, post #4426033, and post #4440070) simply by the presence of the © symbol or the word "copyright". The two serve different functions, convey different information and appear in different contexts. And importantly, a copyright notice is less likely to be visually intrusive. I think there's a solid basis for treating these as two different things.

I don't really see a point in tagging this and I highly doubt anyone is actually going to go through 45k watermark posts to populate it. I hate these kind of tags because they're trivial details that we tag simply because they exist, not because anyone realistically wants to search for them. It adds yet more bloat to tag lists while adding very little value for searchers.
