current_theme_supports() is confusing

[johnjamesjacoby]

v1 of theme compatibility worked well but developers have difficulty understanding how it works and how to extend it. Also, making a new theme pack is harder than it should be.

For v2, I propose we remove the current_theme_supports( 'bbpress' ) requirement, and look for template files in the most logical places.

• Parent Theme
• Child Theme
• Theme Compat Directory

This will require a bbp_locate_template() function to mirror the WordPress core locate_template() function, but includes the theme compat folder too.

(In [3623]) First pass at v2 theme compatibility:

• Remove references to current_theme_supports()
• Introduce bbp_locate_template() to include theme compat path
• Use bbp_locate_template() through-out project
• See #1691

Closing as fixed. All references have been removed except for where shortcode override may not be warranted.
