Comment:

 Thought this through a little bit and conferred with @swissspidy, and the
 consensus is that we never should have introduced the `embed_template`
 hook in 4.4 because of the conflict pointed out in comment:20

 The good news is that @obenland has kindly checked a slurp of the themes
 repository and it looks like no themes have yet implemented embed.php
 templates, which means we're in the clear to dump the explicit
 `embed_template` filter and simply rely on the fallback behavior in
 `locate_template()` to infer the `/theme-compat/embed.php` path put in
 place in [36693].
