Subject: [PATCH] [wpiunits] Make RPM an alias of RotationsPerMinute (#8595)

Currently the only name for this unit is `RPM`. This caused a bit of
confusion for a couple of my team members when we failed to find an RPM
unit, assuming it would be named `RotationsPerMinute` as is the standard
for almost all other units, such as `RotationsPerSecond`.

No corresponding changes have been made to wpilibc as it seems to
already work this way, with `rpm` being the abbreviation for
`revolutions_per_minute`.
