Add: validation of bundled themes in build workflow (#11627)

* Add: xtask to check themes for validation warnings

* Update: tidied up runtime paths

* Update: test build workflow

* Update: address clippy lints

* Revert: only trigger workflow on push to master branch

* Add: Theme::from_keys factory method to construct theme from Toml keys

* Update: returning validation failures in Loader.load method

* Update: commented out invalid keys from affected themes

* Update: correct invalid keys so that valid styles still applied

* Update: include default and base16_default themes in check

* Update: renamed validation_failures to load_errors

* Update: introduce load_with_warnings helper function and centralise logging of theme warnings

* Update: use consistent naming throughout
