Kyle McCormick f4540c30e8 fix: flow ?site_theme down through Studio container preview
In ~Palm and earlier, all built-in XBlock Sass was included into CMS
(and LMS) styles before being compiled. So, if a site theme was meant to
affect built-in XBlock styling, those changes would be manifested
directly in the base CMS CSS that is included into every single Studio
page. When the user provided the `?site_theme` querystring parameter,
which is intended to allow devs & admins to view Studio through a given
theme, CMS would look up the given theme and serve the corresponding
base CMS CSS, which would affect the built-in XBlocks views (as
expected).

After ~Palm, built-in XBlocks styles are handled more similarly to to
pure XBlock styles, in that they are only requested when CMS tries to
render the block. In Studio, blocks are not rendered by the original
request, but by a subsequent AJAX request to the `/container_preview`
enpoint. Thus, passing the `?site_theme` query parameter to the original
request will apply the given theme to Studio's chrome, but the theme
will _not_ apply to built-in XBlock views, whose CSS is now loaded via
async request.

To fix this, we simply pass Studio's querystring parameters (including
`?site_theme`) along to the `/container_view` AJAX request. This will
cause CMS to correctly serve the built-in XBlock CSS from the theme
specified by `?site_theme`, rather than whatever the current theme is.

Open edX
--------

This is the root package for Open edX. The intent is that all importable code
from Open edX will eventually live here, including the code in the lms, cms,
and common directories.

If you're adding a new Django app, place it in core/djangoapps. If you're adding
utilities that require Django, place them in core/djangolib.  If you're adding
code that defines no Django models or views of its own but is widely useful, put it
in core/lib.

Note: All new code should be created in this package, and the legacy code will
be moved here gradually. For now the code is not structured like this, and hence
legacy code will continue to live in a number of different packages.
