Use the toUrl to create the link (compatibility with Forum module)

Problem/Motivation

If you check the checkbox to link a term while using the hierarchical_term_formatter, this method is used to get the url of the link:

new Url('entity.taxonomy_term.canonical', ['taxonomy_term' => $term->id()]);

This successfully pulls in the link to the term at /taxonomy/term/x OR at /my-clean-path-to-x. But if a module has altered the uri_callback for an entity, the new uriCallback is ignored.

The best practice for getting a term link is to use $term->toUri, which will pick up that custom uri_callback. It's also the method that the core-provided "Label" formatter uses.

Steps to reproduce

Probably the easiest way to reproduce would be to try to use this formatter in conjunction with the Forum module, which does provide a custom uri callback. If a taxonomy bundle is selected in the Forum settings, its canonical URLs should be altered to /forum/x instead of /taxonomy/term/x. But the heirarchal link formatter still points to /taxonomy/term.

Proposed resolution

Change 

$url = new Url('entity.taxonomy_term.canonical', ['taxonomy_term' => $term->id()]);

to

$url = $term->toUrl();
