[Tagging] Spelling of healthcare:speciality=maxillofacial_surgery

[Mateusz Konieczny]

I would propose automated retagging of

healthcare:speciality=dental_oral_maxillo_facial_surgery
to
healthcare:speciality=oral_and_maxillofacial_surgery
https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/healthcare%3Aspeciality=dental_oral_maxillo_facial_surgery 

It was discussed about year ago but ended without conclusion.
