fix: flow
?site_theme
down through Studio container preview
In ~Palm and earlier, all built-in XBlock Sass was included into CMS (and LMS) styles before being compiled. So, if a site theme was meant to affect built-in XBlock styling, those changes would be manifested directly in the base CMS CSS that is included into every single Studio page. When the user provided the `?site_theme` querystring parameter, which is intended to allow devs & admins to view Studio through a given theme, CMS would look up the given theme and serve the corresponding base CMS CSS, which would affect the built-in XBlocks views (as expected). After ~Palm, built-in XBlocks styles are handled more similarly to to pure XBlock styles, in that they are only requested when CMS tries to render the block. In Studio, blocks are not rendered by the original request, but by a subsequent AJAX request to the `/container_preview` enpoint. Thus, passing the `?site_theme` query parameter to the original request will apply the given theme to Studio's chrome, but the theme will _not_ apply to built-in XBlock views, whose CSS is now loaded via async request. To fix this, we simply pass Studio's querystring parameters (including `?site_theme`) along to the `/container_view` AJAX request. This will cause CMS to correctly serve the built-in XBlock CSS from the theme specified by `?site_theme`, rather than whatever the current theme is. Part of: openedx#32292
