What is the difference between `back-end` and `backend` tags?

I found two tags: back-end and backend. Should we merge them?

Quite obviously, these are the same. The name of the two is literally the same except for a hyphen. They only have one question each. Looking at the questions, they are indeed used for the same purpose. Both have tag descriptions that are mostly similar. Why somebody decided to write descriptions so similar for both, without getting rid of one of them, I can't say. Personally, I don't see much value in the tag, and we're probably better off just deleting both.

For the future, you can just use a flag for simple cases like this.
