 BP Rewrites: introduce the `bp_rewrites_get_url()` function

 Its role is to build **every** BuddyPress URL using the BP Rewrites API.

 This commit also deprecates softly some key functions like
 `bp_get_root_domain()` to let us review (thanks to deprecated notices) all
 BuddyPress links during 12.0 development cycle and make them use the
 introduced `bp_rewrites_get_url()` function or a wrapper of it. Once all
 replacements achieved, we'll need to fully deprecate:
 - `bp_get_root_domain()`
 - `bp_root_domain()`
 - `bp_core_get_root_domain()`

 Slug constants have also been completely deprecated as we will be able to
 customize every slugs from the future "URL" tab of the BuddyPress settings
 page.

 The `$bp->root_domain` BuddyPress global has been deprecated in favor of
 `$bp->root_url`.

 Finally, the Components $rewrite_ids properties are now in place and
 corresponding rewrite rules are successfully generated.
