Description

To prevent issues like #12917, register_taxonomy() should check a list of reserved names, before registering the taxonomy.

First of all, the list should contain the names of registered post types. I know from experience that having the same name for a post type and for a taxonomy leads to trouble.

Should new reserved names moving forward be prefixed with underscore, maybe?

I spent some time thinking about this one, and decided it'd make a good Debug Bar extension. There's a hook in register_taxonomy that can be used to setup checks for reserved names. Post type conflicts should be checked later in the execution. Debug Bar would be a great place to output the results.
