Rename 'transfer' tag to 'data-transfer'

To avoid confusion, I request we rename the (x13) to data-transfer.

Explanation: We already have the (x96). I just went over the questions tagged transfer, and re-tagged a few which rather referred to file-transfer. To avoid people confusing these two tags, IMHO we should do the above mentioned tag-rename.

Optional part: for disambiguity, we could make transfer a synonym to one of the two. Some facts about background for the two tags to be considered in this case: While "file-transfer" clearly refers to "files", obviously, "data-transfer" is less clear a term. Taking a look at the questions tagged such, it refers to...

  • PIM data such as contacts (x4, plus 1 mixed)
  • messages: SMS/MMS (x4)
  • app-data (x2)
  • other data: links via bluetooth, WiFi APNs (x2)

So we could also think of creating a new tag, which would make sense, and re-tag those 4+1 questions, optionally do the same for message-transfer, and then renaming "transfer" to "data-transfer".
