20556	Always include post-thumbnail-template and deprecate require_if_theme_supports()	nacin	nacin	"require_if_theme_supports() was a nice idea at the time, but we've never found reason to leverage it. Let's remove it, and always include post-thumbnail-template.php.

As it is, some of these functions are useful when post thumbnails are not supported by the theme. (get_post_thumbnail_id(), for example). The whole file with these functions is under 100 lines.

Always including this file has the benefit of avoiding a sysopen call. opcode caching FTW. see #17112.

No plugins use require_if_theme_supports()."	defect (bug)	closed	normal	3.4	Post Thumbnails		normal	fixed	2nd-opinion	joachim.kudish@…
