Message:

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.

Merges [42364], [42365] to the 4.9 branch.

Fixes #42717. See #42771.
