remove alias service_top (412) -> power_bottom (7354)

Reason: I believe this should be unaliased simply because the two are NOT the same thing, they do not refer to the same thing, and having them aliased makes it more difficult to find either reliably.

A service top is a submissive who takes the top role. A male escort is an example of a service top,but usually it has the title has a connotation of far more submissiveness, and sometimes bondage and bdsm relationships are involved.

A power bottom, on the other hand, is the one who takes control and takes the bottom role. In the escort example, they are the client. They could also be the master/owner in the bdsm example.

If you search for 'service_top', you are probably expecting to see the top, however if you search for 'service_top solo', the results show almost exclusively bottoms. As such, you can clearly have power bottoms as a solo-focused picture. You can also just as easily have service tops as a solo-focused picture, either with off-screen characters' speech bubbles, leashes/etc or other objects in the scene implying a submissive role.

However with the two aliased, it is nearly impossible to find such solo-focused service-top images. At the very least, the two should be unaliased to allow searching for such tops, bottoms, or both. It would also make sense to lump these two into a larger category, such as 'reversed position and role' (or some shorter version), so that you get the effect of the alias if you want to search for one or both, but don't care which.
