#63869: Add template / template_file arguments to register_taxonomy

 I had 13 taxonomies (among many others) that are similar to each other and
 should have one template. I didn't find a convenient way to assign them
 one template. I ended up with 12 more files that I need to just to include
 the same template part.

 I misspelled one taxonomy, and when this taxonomy was renamed, we found
 out that it got the wrong template. I am trying to avoid duplication and
 use constants for such things, so renaming a taxonomy can be as simple as
 just changing one constant (and making a migration in case this taxonomy
 has terms that we want to bring along), but keeping in mind that you have
 to rename files as well is not very convenient.

 It will be good to have a {{{template}}} argument that can get a template
 as register_post_type() has and a {{{template_file}}} that will make it
 possible to render this taxonomy via a certain template file no matter how
 it is called.
