theme: support theme setting override

...by reading <config-dir>/themerc-override where <config-dir> is normally
$HOME/.config/labwc can be other locations as described in labwc-config(5)
and can also be specified by the command line option -C.

The reason for supporting theme override is to give users more fine-
grained control of settings without making local copies and modifying
themes.
