In get_term_link() : we should be able to filter the term link structure before token replacement occurs

[nikeo]

Hi!

We can currently filter the permalink post structure in get_permalink() with pre_post_link. ( https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/4.7/src/wp-includes/link-template.php#L118 )

It woud be useful to have the same possiblity with term links in get_term_link() ( https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/4.7/src/wp-includes/taxonomy.php#L3834 ), with a filter. For example with a pre_term_link filter.

That would allow developers to easily disable fancy links for terms in a given context, which is possible right now for posts but not easy to achieve with terms.

Hope this makes sense, thanks !

@SergeyBiryukov
pre_term_link is available for the filter name

This needs review and an owner if its going to land in 4.8.

Punting to 4.8.1 per today's bug scrub.

Per today's bug scrub, we'll punt this as the focus for 4.8.1 is regressions only.

In 41191:

Taxonomy: Introduce pre_term_link filter.

This filter allows developers to filter the taxonomy permalink
structure before a term's permalink is generated. It parallels
the 'pre_post_link' filter for the 'post' post type.

Props nikeo.
Fixes #39601.
