Changes to Confluence theming properties in ADG 3

As a result of Atlassian Design Guidelines (ADG 3) changes being made to Confluence Cloud, some changes will also be made to the lookandfeel resource of the Confluence REST API. This is the REST resource used for manipulating the global and space-level look and feel settings:
