      Description

      For making easy progress on MDL-46401, this issue will evolve the support for cohort themes.

      Aspects to consider:

      • Cohort based theme value for each user sitewide would be cached in their session
      • Add the new theme field to upload CSV cohorts
      • WS: add the parameter to create_cohorts and update_cohorts
      • $CFG->themeorder
