#3790: Change exit's to return's in template-loader.php

 All the exit statements in template-loader.php cause the script to
 terminate at that point (after the blog has been rendered). This early
 termination makes it difficult to include Wordpress as a piece of a larger
 page, as script execution will end here instead of continuing to whatever
 is after it.

 These exits are actually unnecessary, but they do reduce execution time
 (in theory). As such, changing these exits to returns will have the same
 effect. Execution of template-loader.php will end early (as desired) and
 it will continue back to blog-header.php (where template-loader.php was
 require_once'd from). From there it will return back to index.php and thus
 end execution. But the use of returns will allow other packages to
 include('index.php') to create the blog within their own page area,
 allowing a greater level of customization without having to hack the main
 Wordpress source.

 So the request is to change all "exit;" statements to "return;" statements
 in template-loader.php.
