#4212: bp_get_button() does not allow a core component button (regression)

 The `bp_get_button()` function (and corresponding `BP_Button` class
 constructor) accepts a 'component' item in its array of arguments.

 Before the button is built, `bp_is_active()` is called to check if the
 required component is active. If you don't specify a component, it
 defaults to 'core', but `bp_is_active( 'core' )` always returns false, so
 a core component button will never be shown.

 Note that this is a regression. At BuddyPress 1.2.9, `bp_is_active( 'core'
 )` would return true and core buttons would work fine. At some point
 between 1.2.9 and 1.5, this changed and broke.

 Marking as 1.5, may affect earlier versions.
