[theme-reviewers] get_template_part vs locate_template

[Curtis McHale]

I just looked at the theme review guidelines and it's probably worth
clarifying them in regard to locate_template and get_template_part.
Currently they say to use get_template_part to include custom template
files. It's actually listed as *required* which obviously could cause
confusion.
