Felix Arntz ec21b604e0 Themes: Deprecate usage of TEMPLATEPATH and STYLESHEETPATH constants.
While generally the functions `get_template_directory()` and `get_stylesheet_directory()` were long recommended to use to get the parent or child theme directory, the `TEMPLATEPATH` and `STYLESHEETPATH` constants were still used in a few places in core, most importantly in template related logic.

The remaining usage was problematic as it prevented testability of certain key components of WordPress core.

This changeset replaces all remaining usage with the corresponding functions and effectively marks these constants as deprecated. It also adds test coverage accordingly and even unlocks some existing, previously commented out test coverage to work as expected.

Performance of the new approach has been benchmarked and shows no notable differences. Yet, given that the current theme directories are not expected to change within a regular WordPress page load, the `get_template_directory()` and `get_stylesheet_directory()` functions were amended with in-memory caching of the result, unless one of the defining values is being filtered.

The short version:

1. Create a clean MySQL database and user. DO NOT USE AN EXISTING DATABASE or you will lose data, guaranteed.

2. Copy wp-tests-config-sample.php to wp-tests-config.php, edit it and include your database name/user/password.

3. $ svn up

4. Run the tests from the "trunk" directory:
   To execute a particular test:
      $ phpunit tests/phpunit/tests/test_case.php
   To execute all tests:
      $ phpunit

Notes:

Test cases live in the 'tests' subdirectory. All files in that directory will be included by default. Extend the WP_UnitTestCase class to ensure your test is run.

phpunit will initialize and install a (more or less) complete running copy of WordPress each time it is run. This makes it possible to run functional interface and module tests against a fully working database and codebase, as opposed to pure unit tests with mock objects and stubs. Pure unit tests may be used also, of course.

Changes to the test database will be rolled back as tests are finished, to ensure a clean start next time the tests are run.

phpunit is intended to run at the command line, not via a web server.
