Changes proposed in this Pull Request:

This PR supersedes #25236

As discussed in p6q8Tx-1qz-p2, when users search for 'woo' on the WP.org plugin repository, WooCommerce does not appear in the list of results. This is happening because 'woo' is not mentioned in the content, excerpt, title, or tags. It was suggested that we start using the tags fields for synonyms like 'woo'. Since WP.org only stores the first 5 tags, in this commit, I'm removing the tag ecommerce tag (which is a word that appears both in the excerpt and the content) and replacing it with 'woo'.

In the future, we might want to evaluate the other four tags that WP.org is considering: e-commerce, store, sales, sell.

Yes, I'm aware that only the first five tags are used by WP.org. That is why I added 'woo' as the fifth tag. I decided to leave the remaining tags as I don't know if there is another reason for them to exist as I don't know why they were added in the first place. Anyway thanks for the reminder.

I'm not sure about the location, not sure if we could leave it after shop or let at the end as before.

@peterfabian adding this PR to the 4.0.1 milestone as it doesn't impact the code and the sooner we get this out the easier it will be for people to find WooCommerce on WP.org when searching for woo. Feel free to move it back to 4.1.0 if you prefer.
