deprecate amazon_warrior

I don't fully expect this to go through.
My reasoning for this is: this tag is so vague it's used interchangeably as its wiki definition - the greek myth of an amazon (post #7631141), and as a tribal woman of the amazon rainforest (post #6149025), even in pictures where they're clearly more african themed (post #441585), or not even tribal (post #426394)

And it also is subject to heavy canon tagging, like a random one piece woman who is an amazon i guess but looks nothing like it in most of her art: post #760975 and a random woman called amazon with bikini armor: post #6347888

In short: useless "female warrior/barbarian"-esque canon tag that can be easily replaced with tribal, warrior, or whatever the picture demands.
The only reason I'm not proposing a nuke is that some retagging could be done. I'll do it if it goes through.

Since tribal exists I don't mind, but I do think with more guidelines this could be reworked into a clearer tag for example post #590945 which is not a warrior, but is currently tagged amazon_warrior. I would say grouping Amazonians separately from posts of African or Native American tribesman is possible so if we wanted to keep the tag for that I don't mind, but Boa Handcock and pals means in its current use the tag is unusable for those purposes.
