 Currently, when registering the post_format taxonomy, we check
 current_theme_supports('post-formats').

 This introduces a problem in canonical when formats are not supported,
 where /type/aside/ redirects to /type/aside/?post_format=aside. In this
 specific case, Mark was actually registering support on init 10, which was
 too late for the core taxonomies at init 0. (Would need to happy on
 after_setup_theme.)

 Instead, we should always support rewriting, and let the query 404 the
 page as appropriate. Thus, /type/aside/ will 404 when there are no asides,
 whether formats are enabled or not, and whether the aside is a supported
 format or not.
