[theme-reviewers] Option to create child theme from theme option

[emin ozlem]

Well normally you'd have to create a page-*.php file inside your theme
folder. So it would get lost anyway, you cant switch page-*.php templates
between themes.

My main goal is to save the user the trouble of creating page-*.php
template file, typing in the template name & the query params.  Plus, if
the template markup changes, the user wont have to update all of their
page-*.php files accordingly, manually. I cant see any downsides compared
to the default behaviour in this, if you do please do tell.
