 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="42364"
 Don't do a strict taxonomy check in `get_category_link()`.

 Prior to version 4.9, a quirk in the implementation of `get_term()` caused
 `get_category_link( 123 )` to fetch the taxonomy archive link for term 123
 even if 123 is not in the 'category' taxonomy. The quirk was fixed in
 [40979];
 see #40671. This bugfix introduced a regression for theme authors who were
 expecting the old behavior.

 By lifting the 'category' restriction, we allow the template function to
 work
 in the old way.

 Fixes #42717. See #42771.
