Accessibility: Themes: Only unlink custom logo on the home page if the theme declares support for that.

To accommodate for the change, the custom-logo theme feature now accepts the unlink-homepage-logo parameter.

If and when the logo is linked on the home page, the link has the aria-current attribute for better accessibility.

Follow-up to [48039], [48283], see [48749].

This brings the changes to the 5.5 branch.

Fixes #37011.
