add support for switching to dark-theme

Muqtadir requested to merge muqtxdir/gnome-shell:dark-theme-patch into ubuntu/master

description:

The Appearance-panel in gnome-control-center only switches GTK themes but not GNOME-Shell theme. The possibility of also switching the GNOME-Shell was mentioned in the sprint session of Yaru development during ubuntu 20.04 release cycle.

see: https://ubuntu.com/blog/new-ubuntu-theme-in-development-for-20-04

impact:

Currently Yaru(light theme) is default for GTK and Yaru-dark(dark theme) is default for GNOME-Shell theme.This change would make Yaru(light theme) the default for both GTK and GNOME-Shell and give the desktop users the ability to Fully switch between both Light and Dark themes from Appearance panel out of the box without the need of using user-themes-gnome-shell-extension.
