#880: Reintroduce total theme count and downloads to header of landing page
------------------------+------------------------------

------------------------+------------------------------
 The original Themes Directory (and Plugin Directory as well) displayed two
 bits of information in the header of its landing page that haven't been
 carried over to the new Themes Directory yet:

 * A brief blurb that gave a little context/explanation of the directory.
 * A stats string indicating the overall count of available themes and the
 total number of downloads.

 It would be nice to maintain the display of the stats in a similar fashion
 as done before, plus add a little bit of context for what visitors are
 looking at.

 The re-themed Plugin Directory launching concurrently with the new Themes
 Directory will have such a display, so doing so for themes will provide
 some additional consistency between the two.

 Attached is a screenshot of what the header message will look like for the
 new Plugin Directory.

 The text as seen in the screenshot is "Plugins extend and expand the
 functionality of WordPress. 36,254 plugins with 856,012,519 total
 downloads are at your fingertips."
