 Updates from discussion in Slack and on GitHub
 (https://github.com/wordPress/gutenberg/pull/10518):

 - For 5.0, the theme controller need not expose anything but the active
 theme, and whether that theme supports post formats and thumbnails.
 - The only new endpoint will be `/wp/v2/themes`. We will query for active
 theme by passing a `?status=active` query parameter.
 `themes?status=active` will return an array containing an object
 representing the active theme.
 - For 5.0, we will not return any response on `/wp/v2/themes` if the
 `?status=active` query is omitted, and no other themes than the active one
 will be represented in the endpoint.
 - Endpoint access is limited to authenticated users with `edit_posts`.

 The PR linked above implements this endpoint for Gutenberg; after merge,
 it can be moved here for core merge.
