Parent Theme Support

It is now possible to share assets between file-based themes with the parent key in the addon.json. By setting this theme to another the key of another theme, the parent assets will be merged with the child assets.

Here's how it works:

variables.json or variables.neon - Variables are merged together.
styles.css - Styles are concatenated.
javascript.js - Javascript is concatenated.
All assets (if the child does not specify the asset, it will be inherited from the parent).

Future releases may add additional behaviours to parent themes.
