Hindi is not an alias, it is an incorrect term.
No one is using Hindi to refer to the Devanagari script, therefore I think
it should not be readded.
The old name has been in use for almost a century, if not more, so we

I feel like 11 years is enough time.
Only two functions are changed where it affects the user, both are input
methods: odia-itrans and odia-inscript.
If by chance any user is not aware of the new name (which I consider highly
unlikely), they can learn about it when tab completing.
Since both the old and new ones start with an 'O'.
