 Widgets: Improved sidebar mapping on theme switch

 Builds on efforts brought forward in #17979.

 This will send sidebars through three levels of mapping:
 1. If both themes have only one sidebar, that gets mapped.
 2. If both themes have sidebars with the same slug, they get mapped.
 3. Sidebars that (even partially) match slugs from a similar kind of
 sidebar will get mapped.

 Finally, if the theme has previously been active and we have a record of
 its
 sidebar configuration then, any unmapped sidebar will be restored to its
 previous state.
