Adds the skeleton for granular (per-component) theming on dashboard grid
components, with the inheritance chain:
Instance theme -> Dashboard theme -> Tab theme
-> Row/Col theme -> Chart/Markdown theme
This commit lands Phase 1 from the SIP (`SIP.md` at repo root): the
storage shape and the resolver, wired into `ChartHolder` as the
proof-of-concept call site. No UI yet — `themeId` must be set via Redux
devtools / position_json hand-edit to verify visually. Phase 2 will
introduce the `ComponentHeaderControls` menu and Phase 3 the
`ThemeSelectorModal` that drives this from a real UI.
Surface:
- `LayoutItemMeta.themeId?: number | null` — optional CRUD theme id
stored per-component in `position_json` meta (no schema migration; the
meta map is already open-ended). `null` and `undefined` both mean
"inherit from parent".
- `pickEffectiveThemeId(layoutId, layout)` — pure resolver. Walks
`parents` up the layout map from the given node until it finds a
numeric `themeId` or hits `DASHBOARD_ROOT_ID`. Hop-capped at 32 to
defend against malformed parents chains.
- `useEffectiveThemeId(layoutId)` — Redux hook variant.
- `<ComponentThemeProvider layoutId={...}>` — wraps children in the
resolved theme's `SupersetThemeProvider`. Lazy-fetches via the
existing `ThemeController.createDashboardThemeProvider`, which already
caches by id so N components sharing one theme = 1 fetch. Pass-through
when no ancestor sets a `themeId`.
- `ChartHolder.tsx` — wraps the existing `<AntdThemeProvider>` (which is
a popup-container shim for fullscreen mode, not a token provider) so
per-component tokens are set before antd's ConfigProvider for popup
targeting.
Tests: 8 unit cases for `pickEffectiveThemeId` covering own / inherited /
null-skip / no-ancestor / root-stop / malformed-parents / other-meta /
missing-id.
Closes the spirit of the closed PR #36749 (which became unrebasable
after .jsx -> .tsx + React 18 + theme controller churn).
