Per @beechnut's review comment on #552 (filed as #555): powwow, spirit animal, totem pole, and guru are flagged because they're sacred terms in Indigenous / Indian spiritual traditions, not because of racial stigma per se, so they don't really belong in the "Racist" table. "Other" already houses the religious entries (goddamn, jesus fucking), so I moved the four there.

Bot behavior is unchanged. Ran sync-inclusion-bot-words.js to regenerate inclusion-bot.yaml; the only yaml diff is the alphabetical reordering that the sync script always does.

Closes #555.

Per @beechnut's feedback on 18F#552 (filed as 18F#555): powwow, spirit
animal, totem pole, and guru are all flagged because they're sacred
in Indigenous / Indian spiritual traditions, not because of racial
stigma. Move them under "Other" alongside the existing religious
entries (goddamn, jesus). Bot behavior is unchanged; this is just
a documentation organization fix. Reran sync-inclusion-bot-words.js
to regenerate the yaml.

Closes 18F#555.
