Title:
  Simplify theme levels

  New

Bug description:
  At the moment OpenLP uses 3 theme levels.

  Song Level = Songs, Bibles and custom slides use their own themes.
  Service Level = Everything uses service theme
  Global Level = Everything uses global theme

  If service Level is active, changing the Global theme
  has no effect and vice versa, yet they are both visible
  in the UI at the same time.

  Using Service/Global Level requires user to change their settings.
  I think it would be much simpler to just combine the Service and
  Global theme level into one and call it “Default Level” and control
  it from both, service and Theme manager.

  Service theme name is saved into service files,
  this means the service file will change the service
  theme on target system. However, this only works if
  the target system has a theme with the exact same name.

  I think this highly confusing and service files should
  not mess around with other machines Theme settings since
  every computer has their own setups/font sizes/projectors.

  Alternatively, if we want to keep this, we probably should 
  add a setting for controlling this behauviour 
  (disabled by default) and try to export the theme 
  upon saving the the Service. (if possible)
