According to the WordPress PHP coding standards, it is recommended to use require[_once] instead of include[_once] for unconditional includes. However, in two files of the twenty twenty one theme, I have found include_once used unconditionally.

To improve consistency and ensure better security and stability of the code, I propose replacing include_once with require_once in these two files.

This change will ensure that if the file cannot be found, a Fatal Error will be thrown, preventing any potential security leaks or other issues that may arise due to the file not being loaded properly.

I have created a pull request for these changes, and I kindly request a review from the WordPress core team.
