#4546: Use locate_template() in bp_locate_template()
-------------------------+-----------------------------

-------------------------+-----------------------------
 Currently in bp_locate_template(), we check for child and parent theme
 templates by looking up the directory with get_stylesheet_directory() and
 get_template_directory().

 We can just use locate_template() to do this.

 In the attached patch, I've also added two filters -
 `'bp_locate_fallback_template'` and `'bp_locate_template'`.  The
 `'bp_locate_fallback_template'` hook is necessary for 3rd-party plugin
 devs, while the `'bp_locate_template'` will open up the possibility for
 plugin devs to override any core template from their plugin.

 I'm open to removing the latter hook.

 Let me know what you guys think.
