create alias xinzoruo -> lyy

same artist.
xinzoruo is lyy's burner account for genshin.evidence: https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/7967765
Considering that although xinzoruo is more famous than lyy, lyy is the account that the artist more use. And lyy is the artist's identity used in more communities, so it is recommended to incorporate xinzoruo's content into lyy.

@paraselene58 @WeakestResUser what are the chances that approving this will cause us headaches down the line? That is, what are the chances the artist is gonna see that we are putting both names/art outputs under the same tag and get upset because they tried to have them separate? Is this an open secret burner account, or something that the artist is actively trying to hide?

Personally, I'm not sure. I think that the provided proofs aren't really sufficient but there are other tells that they're the same artist such as the way they draw. The only thing is that across both accounts and the provided "proofs", not once does either account mention each other by link or name so I'm inclined to believe they want to keep both accounts/fandom focus/posts separate. Seems more like the "open secret" type.
