[Doc] Improves the documentation about using custom themes

Browse Source 
As starting to use the cursive library I've found it challenging to
figure out how to actually use the themes. Only after checking the
source code, and another library actually using this feature, I've
managed to apply it to my project.

This change makes it easier for new commers to use toml themes by
extending the documentationn

//! A theme defines the color palette an application will use, as well as

//! A [`Theme`] object defines the color palette an application will use, as
//! well as various options to style views.
//!
//! Themes are described in toml configuration files. All fields are optional.
//! There are several ways to set a theme for the application:
//!
//! Here are the possible entries:
//! * Construct a [`Theme`] object by setting every field individually.
//! * Get the current theme with [`Cursive::current_theme`] method and
//! changing the required fields (for example see [theme_manual example]).
//! * Using a toml file as a theme configuration (for example see
//! [theme example]).
//!
//! ## Configuring theme with toml
//!
//! This requires the `toml` feature to be enabled.
//!
//! ```toml
//! [dependencies]
//! cursive = { version = "*", features = ["toml"] }
//! ```
//!
//! To use the theme in your application, load it with [`Cursive::load_toml`]
//! method (or use [`theme::load_theme_file`] to aquire the theme object).
//!
//! ```rust,ignore
//! let mut siv = Cursive::dummy();
//! // Embed the theme with the binary.
//! siv.load_toml(include_str!("<path_to_theme_file>.toml")).unwrap();
//! ```
