 Current the REST API for themes is extremely limited. It only allows for
 listing themes and getting the current theme. However, there are lots
 theme related functions that are not possible to access via this api. This
 includes ( but it not limited to )

 - Installing new themes
 - Activating theme
 - Deleting theme

 Any themes api should allow the patterns / structure of the plugins REST
 API, in it's params and responses.

 It is also worth noting, that have a multisite element, as themes can be
 network activated / deactivated.
