Description
Currently, there is a 'Upload Your Theme' button next to the 'Commercial Themes' button that displays when you go to https://wordpress.org/themes/
We suspect that this might be the cause of people updating duplicates to the themes directory.
Plugins page (https://wordpress.org/plugins/) looks much better (maybe because is newer and built with React) and maybe we can make this a bit more uniform. Also putting the upload theme in the bottom would be great.
This patch removes the Upload Your Theme button from the header and adds a widget area with some additional information (including the upload theme button), similar to how plugins page looks like.

Seems like a reasonable solution, @dingo_d I've gone ahead and implemented it mostly as is.
The main changes were:
- Combining strings in the footer widgets so that it's properly translatable
- Moving it to it's own template part
- Hiding the footer widgets on singular views (ie. /theme/$themename/). My reasoning for that is that this is information that's more useful on the "homepage" rather than detail screens.
Lets see what impact this change has, we can iterate on it as needed.
