deprecate hair_strand
previously: topic #21500
restarting this BUR. hair strand is a very muddled and poorly named tag that invites abuse simply by existing. you are immediately bombarded with incorrect examples on the first page, including but not limited to untagged antenna hair, hair way too large to be called a single "strand", hair between eyes that isn't even a single strand, more antennae, ???, and of course, dozens of untagged ahoges and cowlicks.
while the concept of "single strands of hair out of place" is possibly worth tagging, hair strand is not the place for it. also, ironically, the original wiki for hair strand specifies an entirely different purpose for the tag: single-strand hair between eyes/over forehead.
