 Customize: Eliminate use of customize-loader in core so Customizer is
 opened consistently in `top` window.

 * Open the door for future browser history feature in #28536, which is
 currently not feasible when customize-loader is used.
 * Remove customizer-loader from being used on admin screens for Dashboard,
 Themes, non-shiny theme install/update.
 * Keep the customize-loader functionality available for plugins, for the
 time being. It may become deprecated.
 * Ensure `return` param in customizer links in Themes screen update to
 reflect `search` updated by `pushState`.
 * Persist `return` when reloading Customizer due to theme switch, autosave
 restoration, or changeset trashing.
 * Use `location.replace()` instead of changing `location.href` when
 trashing.
 * Hide theme browser while Themes screen is loading when there is a
 `search` to prevent flash of unfiltered themes.
 * Use throttling instead of debouncing when searching themes to ensure
 that screen is updated immediately on page load.
 * Fix encoding and decoding of `search` param between URL and search
 field.
 * Add support for dismissing autosaves when closing customize-loader, when
 it is used by plugins.
 * Skip sending changeset UUID to customize-loader for population in
 browser location if changeset branching is not enabled.

 See #28536.
 Fixes #40254.
