Make plugin file search paths back-compatible (Bug 1500290)

Add the old "static" search locations back into the search path
for plugin-related theme files. This will reduce the need to
"update" third-party plugins to work with 15.10.

Title:
  Make plugin file search paths backwards-compatible

Status in Mahara:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  As part of Bug 1465107 (specifically, commit 5d7bdaea24b4d), we
  rearranged some of the search paths for theme files. We added
  "plugintype" to the search path for plugin-related files stored within
  a theme, and we removed "static" from the path for all the things that
  used to be stored under the "static" directory.

  We did this in order to make the organization of core plugins more
  self-evident, but it had the unfortunate side effect of breaking all
  the third-party plugins that hadn't been reorganized to the new
  standard.

  It's pretty easy to fix this. We already search a few different places
  for each file. All we have to do is add the old locations to the
  search path as well. Then the majority of pre-15.10 plugins will
  continue to work seamlessly in 15.10, making this major version change
  easier to handle.
