--[[=========================================================================
Italicize a taxon name appropriately by invoking italicizeTaxonName.
The algorithm used is:
* If the name has italic markup at the start or the end, do nothing.
* Else
  * Remove (internal) italic markup.
  * If the name is made up of four words and the third word is a
    botanical connecting term, de-italicize the connecting term and add italic
    markup to the outside of the name.
  * Else if the name is made up of three words and the second word is a
    botanical connecting term or a variant of "cf.", de-italicize the
    connecting term and add italic markup to the outside of the name.
  * Else just add italic markup to the outside of the name.
 The module also:
 * Ensures that the hybrid symbol, ×, and parentheses are not italicized, as
   well as any string inside parentheses if dab is true.
 * Has an option to abbreviate all parts of taxon names other than the last
   to the first letter (e.g. "Pinus sylvestris var. sylvestris" becomes
   "P. s. var. sylvestris").
 * Has an option to wikilink the italicized name to the input name.

Both "×" and an HTML entity at the start of the string are skipped over in
determining first character, as is an opening parenthesis and an opening ",
which cause a matching closing character to be included.

The function which does the italicization. Parameters:
 name (string) – the taxon name to be processed
 linked (boolean) – should a wikilink be generated?
 abbreviated (boolean) – should the first parts of the taxon name be
   reduced to capital letters?
 dab (boolean) – should any parenthesized part be treated as a disambiguation
   term and left unitalicized?
