Firstly, we need to understand that ActiveRecord can be
connected to a role which prevent writes and this happens in Discourse when a
replica database has been setup for failover purposes. When a role
prevent writes from happening, ActiveRecord will raise the
`ActiveRecord::ReadOnlyError` if a write query is attempted.
Secondly, theme fields are baked at runtime within GET requests. The
baking process involves writing the baked value to the
`ThemeField#baked_value` column in the database.
If we combine the two points above, we can see how the writing of the
baked value to the database will trigger a `ActiveRecord::ReadOnlyError`
in a GET requests when the database is connected to a role preventing
writes. However, failing to bake a theme is not the end of the world and
should not cause GET requests to fail. Therefore, this commit adds a rescue
for `ActiveRecord::ReadOnlyError` in the `ThemeField#ensure_baked!`
method.
