 Improve `bp_core_get_allowed_avatar_types()`. Make sure to get the file
 type if the upload was not done using html5

 The way we used to check the image file type is not working if the browser
 is Internet Explorer < 10. In this particular case, the Plupload runtime
 is falling back to flash and the file type is `application/octet-stream`.
 We are now using `wp_check_filetype_and_ext()` to fix this issue.

 You can use the filter `bp_core_get_allowed_avatar_types` if you wish to
 *restrict* the avatar image types. Our supported types are: jpg, jpeg, png
 and gif.

 Props DJPaul.
