Changeset 52940 for trunk/src/wp-includes/theme.php

Message:

Themes: Allow block themes to be activated without index.php.

This removes the requirement for block themes to have an unused index.php template just for activation, as they use a templates/index.html file instead.

The updated requirements are as follows:

• Standalone themes need to have a templates/index.html or index.php template file.
• Child themes need to have a Template header in the style.css stylesheet.

Follow-up to [52069], [52247].

Props poena, sabbirshouvo, scruffian, manfcarlo, overclokk, andraganescu, SergeyBiryukov.
Fixes #54272.
