Fix broken markup call in Query Monitor plugin for object cache when there is no
group stats.

### Fix broken category links when removing category base

Calls to get_term_link() and get_category_link() should always return a full URL,
but wpcom_vip_load_category_base() has been breaking that behaviour. This fix restores
the correct functioning by using `home_url()` to ensure there is a full URL.
