[wp-hackers] is_front_page should have it's own template file

[Aaron D. Campbell]

Ok, I re-opened and amended the ticket.  The home.php file is meant to 
be for the front page, if the front page is posts (uses is_home).  Since 
that side of it is already handled, I changed the function to 
get_static_front_page_template and it only uses that if you are on the 
front page AND it's a static page (if is_front_page() is true, and 
is_home() was false).  The order in this case goes:
CustomTemplate -> front-page.php -> page.php -> index.php
