 When navigating around the site within the Customizer preview, the
 document title should be updated to include the document title of the
 current URL being previewed.

 As it stands right now, assuming the activated theme is Twenty Thirteen,
 loading up the Customizer will always have the document title:

 > Customize Twenty Thirteen ‹ WordPress

 This is not particularly helpful, especially outside the context of a Live
 Preview theme switch.

 When customizing the site with an active theme, it seems to make more
 sense if the blogname (e.g. Foo) were used in the document title:

 > Customize Foo ‹ WordPress

 And then when doing a Live Preview for a theme switch, the document title
 could be:

 > Live Preview Twenty Thirteen ‹ WordPress

 Even better would be if the document title of URL loaded into the preview
 would be incorporated into the document title of the overall customizer,
 and if this title would then update as the user browses around the site
 inside of the customizer preview. (For the closely related ticket to add
 browser history and deep linking for navigation in Customizer preview, see
 #28536).

 So when customizing the site without a theme switch, the customizer
 document title could have the format:

 > Customize: {{document_title}} ‹ WordPress

 And then when doing a live preview theme switch, the document title can
 have the format:

 > Live Preview {{theme_name}}: {{document_title}} ‹ WordPress
