Subject: [PATCH] Fix FA7 not loading: try both media and template paths

Font Awesome CSS was not loading because the asset path
(media/templates/site/mokocassiopeia/) doesn't exist when
deployed via SFTP to the template directory. Now checks the
file system for both the standard Joomla media path and the
SFTP-deployed template-relative path before falling back to
the asset registry.
