Ensure the settings page accurately represents theme choices

Fixes https://github.com/vector-im/riot-web/issues/11518

This also fixes a bug where the the theme logic can incorrectly get stuck in the light theme - the ThemeController was overriding *all* values, not just supposed themes. Null values aren't overridden so that the various theme logic bits don't assume the user has chosen the light theme explicitly.
