 As part of #15806 we wanted to add unit tests, but we came across a
 problem in #UT22.  Basically `locate_template()` uses these constants
 instead of `get_template_directory()` and `get_stylesheet_directory()`
 which makes it impossible to use `switch_theme()`.  It looks like the
 constants are only used in about 20 places through core, so I recommend we
 fix those places and deprecate the constants.
