 Currently wp_generate_tag_cloud() is hard-coded to utilise get_tags(),
 Which for the inbuilt tag clouds are fine, But when a plugin, or core
 wants to use a Tagcloud/heatmap, It needs to create its own function.

 The attached patch moves all tag logic back into wp_tag_cloud(), and
 leaves wp_generate_tag_cloud() mearly generating a tag cloud from the
 provided data.

 Backwards Compatibility: Back Compat. will be broken for anything which
 relies on a text output from wp_generate_tag_cloud(), Could be implemented
 at the same time as #5710 (wp_tag_cloud should echo get_tag_cloud)
