 The {{{get_category_parents()}}} function is, as the name suggests,
 limited to only fetching the parents for the {{{category}}} taxonomy. It
 would be great if we had the same function available for any specified
 taxonomy to use.

 My suggested patch (attached) adds a new function,
 {{{get_term_parents()}}}, which is a direct copy of the existing function,
 but with an added {{{$taxonomy}}} parameter so you can use it for any
 given taxonomy. I have then updated the original
 {{{get_category_parents()}}} to simply be a wrapper for this new function,
 so it is fully backwards compatible.

 The only modification to the original function (aside from some coding
 standards updates) is the addition of an {{{is_taxonomy_hierarchical()}}}
 check, which now becomes necessary.
