[theme-reviewers] Enqueue scripts from CDN

[Edward Caissie]

Personally I think "everything the theme calls that doesn't come from
WordPress core *must* be bundled with the theme" without exception,
including items such as GoogleFonts for the same reasons that @Otto
mentioned, the installation may be found where there is potentially no
direct access to the Internet by the "reader". Although if that is the case
then the example GoogleFonts call would at worst fall back to the browser
default(?) which one would hope still keeps the theme "readable" with just
a loss of aesthetics.
