This allows us to get rid of duplicate declaration of CSS theme variables. On the downside, JavaScript must be enabled to recognize the system theme, but this is an acceptable compromise as documentation remains fully usable with JavaScript disabled. This change also makes it much easier for users to override or extend JavaDoc stylesheets.

When opening the theme switcher and hitting the tab key, focus now goes to the theme switcher and no longer goes to the first link in the breadcrumb navigation if there is one. This required moving the HTML for the theme switcher next to the theme button, which required a whole series of test changes. I considered removing the theme switcher markup from these tests, but decided against it, mostly to make sure there are no other unchecked links in the navigation bar. This fix also required reducing the `z-index` of the mobile table of contents.
