#5223: Stop offering bp-default on new installations

--------------------------+-----------------
 As of 1.9, we should no longer offer bp-default as an installable theme
 for new installations. This will be the first step in the longer-term task
 of removing bp-default from the BP codebase, and spinning it out into its
 own theme. See #5212 for more general discussion.

 My proposed solution is to bail out of registering the `bp-themes` theme
 directory unless one of the following cases obtains:

 1. The current theme is bp-default (get_stylesheet())
 2. The current theme is a child of bp-default (get_template())

 If anyone thinks that this is too aggressive, we could do the above *only
 for new installations*. How can we tell what's a new installation? We
 could add something to the 1.9 upgrade routine that sets a flag in the
 database - something like `bp_register_bp_default` - to true, while that
 value would be set to false (or unset) for new installs.

 Patch incoming for the simpler, more aggressive option.
