 When creating a new term using `wp_insert_term()` and passing the
 `alias_of` parameter, the term_group of the aliased term is updated (see
 line 2467). However, the cache for this item is not cleared.

 We should use `wp_update_term()` here instead of a direct database query.
 This takes care of caching for us. It also allows us to remove these
 duplicate 'edit_terms' and 'edited_terms' hooks.

 Patch attached.
