#954: Load plugin template files without requiring extra installation step

 Any non-basic plugin will introduce new pages for its component into a BP
 site.  This requires end-users to move the template files out of the
 folder.  This sucks because after the one-click plugin install introduced
 in WP 2.7, you still have to log into your server to finish installing the
 plugin.

 The proposed patch will call an action when it tries to load a template
 file which doesn't exist in the currently active site theme.  This will
 allow BuddyPress plugins to hook in to the chain of events and remove the
 extra installation step that otherwise has to happen.

 If a user does choose to move the plugin template files into their site
 theme, those will be loaded instead allowing them to be easily customised
 if so desired.
