 On WordPress.com, locate_template() fails when called in the API context.

 For example:
 {{{#!php
 include( locate_template( 'template-parts/podcasts/promo.php' ) );
 }}}

 becomes:
 {{{#!php
 include( '' );
 }}}

 which fails.

 Suggestion:
 Add filters to locate_template() to override STYLESHEETPATH and
 TEMPLATEPATH.

 Change this:
 {{{#!php
 if ( file_exists(STYLESHEETPATH . '/' . $template_name)) {
   $located = STYLESHEETPATH . '/' . $template_name;
 }}}


 to this:
 {{{#!php
 $stylesheet_path = apply_filters( 'stylesheet_path', STYLESHEETPATH );
 if ( file_exists( $stylesheet_path . '/' . $template_name ) ) {
   $located = $stylesheet_path . '/' . $template_name;
 }}}
