 When editing a hierarchical term, the dropdown selector for the term's
 parent has options for each of the term's descendants making it easy to
 create loops in the term hierarchy.

 Attached uses the {{{exclude_tree}}} argument in
 {{{wp_dropdown_category()}}}.

 Attached depends on #14446.

 Setting milestone to 3.0.2.  If a user creates a category loop (for
 example), those categories in the loop disappear from view at wp-admin
 /edit-tags.php?taxonomy=category.

 This is a frontend/web interface change.  #14662  is a more comprehensive
 backend/API change.
