 It introduces the `bp_rewrites_get_url()` function. Its role is to build
 every BuddyPress URL using the BP Rewrites API.

 It also deprecates softly some key functions like `bp_get_root_domain()`
 to let us review all BP links during 12.0 development cycle and make them
 use the `bp_rewrites_get_url()` function or a wrapper of it.

 It also deprecates slug constant as we will be able to customize every
 slugs from the future "URL" tab of BuddyPress settings page.

 It puts the Components `$rewrite_ids` in place and deprecates the
 `$root_domain` BP global.

 This PR will soon be completed with Unit tests for the
 `bp_rewrites_get_url()` function.
