Comment (by norcross):

 the problem is that to use `media_sideload_image` on the front end, these
 files have to be included. so any theme / plugin that makes use of this is
 suspect to changes in core. by creating this wrapper (and Sergey is
 correct with the `ABSPATH` part, not sure why it worked on my local) it
 allows core to make changes down the road without breaking existing sites.

 also, I don't see it as a hack. if anything, the current method (having to
 manually call those files) is more of a hack.
