 When closing the Customizer without a `url` or `return` param set, the
 user should be taken to the front page of the site rather than the themes
 admin page or the dashboard (for users who can't switch themes). This is
 based on several changes with the Customizer over the past several
 releases, and most generally because we'd like to emphasize the connection
 between the Customizer and the frontend rather than the admin.

 Note that most users will probably end up in the Customizer with a url or
 return param but that's not always the case. With this changed users
 should still theoretically go back to the themes admin if they opened the
 Customizer from there.

 See the `$return` var in lines 29 and 32 of `wp-admin/customize.php`.
