 This patch adds the ability to download themes from the wp-admin Themes
 page.
 Currently, WordPress does not provide a download button in the admin UI.

 Changes included:
 - wp-admin/includes/theme.php
 - wp-admin/themes.php

 The patch adds:
 - A "Download" button next to each installed theme.
 - Proper security checks to ensure only users with 'manage_options'
 capability can download themes.
 - Sanitization of file names for safe download.

 Testing:
 - Tested on a clean WordPress trunk setup.
 - Confirmed the download works for active and inactive themes.
 - Confirmed no PHP errors are thrown during the process.
