 Scenario:

 I've just uploaded a new theme to my theme directory and I now want to
 activate it on a site. I head to the Appearance › Themes menu for that
 site and, whoops, I forgot to activate it on the network first. Now I need
 to:

 1. Click my name in the header
 2. Click Network Admin in the dropdown menu
 3. Click Sites
 4. Find the site and click Edit
 5. Click Themes

 From there I can enable the theme.

 We're not done yet though. We need to traverse a minimum of two screens to
 get back to the Themes menu of the site (even more if the admin bar isn't
 enabled) in order to activate it.

 Two things would make this process easier:

 1. A link from the Themes screen to the Themes tab of the site in network
 admin, so five clicks become one.
 2. The ability to activate a theme from the Themes tab of the site in
 network admin.
