 PATHINFO permalinks (starting with {{{/index.php/}}}) don't play well with
 custom tag/category prefixes.

 example:

 {{{
 Permalinks:
 /index.php/%postname%/

 Category Prefix:
 /topic

 Tag Prefix:
 /taxonomy
 }}}

 Issues:

  1. "You should update your .htaccess now." message is flashed, but
 nothing is provided to copy/paste
  1. Tag and Category URLs do not work.
  1. Even if you figure out what should be in .htaccess, paging for
 categories and tags wil be broken


 All of the above happen because we now have a mix of PATHINFO and
 mod_rewrite permalinks.  Permalink structure should be the authoritative
 PATHINFO/mod_rewrite decider.  If {{{/index.php/}}} is at the start of the
 permalink structure, it should also be automatically (and maybe silently)
 added to the front of the category/tag prefixes.

 This is an issue for 2.2.1 as well (although obviously only for
 categories).
