A function to allow woocommerce to search woocommerce template in an external plugin

woocommerce_locate_template.php

/**
    * The normal WooCommerce template loader searches the following locations in order, until a match is found:
    *  1. your theme / template path / template name
    *  2. your theme / template name
    *  3. default path / template name
    *
    * The new order of search will be:
    *  1. your theme / template path / template name
    *  2. your theme / template name
    *  3. your plugin / woocommerce / template name
    *  4. default path / template name
    *
