utility aliases for finger_cots

BUR #6341 has been approved by @evazion.

create alias finger_covers -> finger_cots

I personally had never heard of finger cots before.

I'm all for finger_covers -> finger cots but I think that the term finger_gloves is going to be more confusing than helpful.

I can't imagine anyone mistaking them for normal gloves, but fine, removed.

Considering we have fingerless_gloves as one of the top autocompletes for finger* I can see where people would see the existence of 'finger_gloves' and just run with it. Maybe it's an overly cautious stance, but it was literally my first thought on seeing it suggested.

The tag was actually moved from finger gloves to the current finger cots around 2 months ago.

Not too keen on the term "finger cots" in general since it seems to imply a medical or sanitary aspect, but I don't think we have any better options. I just hope anyone else who decides to look them up after seeing it isn't also greeted with details about digital rectal examination.

Maybe the alias should be reversed then?
