Add taxa_names as last column in phyloseq tax_table

The taxa names in your phyloseq may specify a further unique classification of your taxa, e.g. ASVs, that is not otherwise represented in the tax_table itself. This function fixes that, and allows you to include this level in taxatree_plots for example.
