Link to existing taxonomy/term page

Issue Summary

I don't like that I have to provide a page and can't link to the existing taxonomy/term one so I'm investigating what it would take to provide an option, or just default, to have terms link to their normal page. From view.inc, method get_url() calls get_path() which can use override_path(). So, all that needs to be done is maybe a setting for choosing this method or defaulting so that if there is no page display set, then use 'taxonomy/term'? Would this feature request be accepted?

Attached patch implements the default in template_preprocess_views_cloud_summary_style() by checking if views->get_url() is empty.

This sounds like a pretty good idea to me, though we can't assume that "taxonomy/term" is a valid path. There is actually a hook that allows modules to change the taxonomy term path entirely (such as to point to a view at a different path). Usually this is accessed through http://api.lullabot.com/taxonomy_term_path, though the difficulty there is that you need to pass in a term in order to determine the path, you can't just assume that it will be the a static path plus the TID.
