Bug Description

Tested on Mahara 16.10dev

When you are a member of 2 or more institutions, you can switch the themes in your account settings page to the institution theme that you want to browse the site in.

When you create a page though, one of the institution themes is chosen and in my case it wasn't the one of the institution I had selected.

To replicate:

1. Set up institutions "School" and "University" and give each a different theme, i.e. not the site theme.
2. Set up a user who is a member in both institutions.
3. Log in and in the account settings, choose the school theme.
4. Create a page -> it takes on the school theme, which is correct.
5. Switch the theme in the account settings to "University".
6. The site displays in the university institution theme -> correct.
7. Create a page -> The school theme is selected -> This is not correct. It should display the university theme.
8. When you go to the page that you created under 4, it also still displays the school theme when it should show the university theme as that is your browsing theme.

The theme displayed to the user when browsing the site or creating a page should always be the one selected in account settings as that is the only way to know what the user's preference is.

This is unrelated to being able to choose a page theme. When that functionality is enabled, users should be able to "pin" a specific theme to a page, but only then. At all other times, the institution theme / theme chosen in their account settings page should be the one used for browsing their own portfolio.

There is no way to switch the theme to a "new" / other institution when page themes aren't turned on (which they aren't always).

The patch here fixes only that the correct institution theme is selected when creating the page. The remainder is a wishlist item and reported now at bug #1634675

Bug 1632917: Respect usr_account_preference('theme') for page creation

Currently only sets new page to institution theme rather than what
theme you specified in account preferences.
