 Flush rewrite rules upon theme switch

 Themes can ( and do ) but shouldn't include custom rewrite rules.This can
 lead to hard to debug issues for theme authors. Theme changes are not a
 ultra common conclusion. Flushing the rewrite rules on theme switch will
 lead to a clean slate for each theme which helps make debugging easier.

 And @nacin said we should do this 5 years ago at WordCamp Mid Atlantic.

 Fixes #14849
