Semiphore/semaphore swap

OK, as per the new naming convention, I just finished swapping
semiphore and semaphore on the wiki - the 2.3.7 49/48 temperament is
now semaphore, and the 2.3.5.7 49/48 and 81/80 temperament is now
semiphore. Every instance of the terms has been swapped; I was very
thorough and changed various pages referencing it, scale names, etc.
You can check the history to see exactly what I changed. Redirects
were added as a fallback so there shouldn't be any problem. This
should also bring Graham's temperament finder up to speed too.

The one thing that needs changing still is the "Semiphore" picture on
the "Chromatic Pairs" page, which still says Semiphore. I pinged
Andrew Heathwaite to see if he could make another GIF with the name
changed. I doubt that'll be much of an issue.

This raises one question though: the thing called the "Semaphore
family", e.g. the 2.3.5.7 49/48 planar temperament, is now called the
"Semiphore family." But do we really want to actually call this family
the "semiphore family"? I think it might make more sense if we just
called the whole family the "semaphore family," but then the 2.3.5.7
49/48 planar temperament itself could be "semaphore." It would be the
same sort of thing as the "pelogic family" where the main temperament
is "mavila" instead of "pelogic." Thoughts?
