[theme-reviewers] Theme Check update

[Justin Tadlock]

Great job on bringing things up to date.

Here are some required issues I ran into with currently-approved themes.
 Neither of these things are inherently incorrect, but they get flagged.

1) "The <title> tags can only contain a call to wp_title(). Use the
wp_title filter to modify the output."

This is caused by a custom function hooked to `wp_head` to output the
`<title>` tag.  This is should be easy enough to fix for theme check
though.  Here's the code that gets flagged:

printf( "<title>%s</title>\n", wp_title( ':', false ) );

2) "Sidebars need to be registered in a custom function hooked to the
widgets_init action. See: register_sidebar()."

This is caused by a wrapper function for `register_sidebar()` that handles
HTML5 defaults instead of the old-style lists.
