 I think it's a bit shortsighted to think that only singular pages need the
 canonical tag output in the `<head>`. Considering the fact that just about
 any page on your site can be accessed with a malformed URL, I think it's
 time to enhance this function.

 The attached patch is just a first pass. But I think it gets us started in
 the right direction. There's also a filter before output, so themes and
 plugins can further enhance the output of this plugin (related #14458).

 Patch is against [438126].
