Introduce separate "Use the administration theme when editing or creating users" appearance setting

Problem/Motivation

At /admin/appearance since many Drupal versions there's the option

Use the administration theme when editing or creating content
Control which roles can "View the administration theme" on the Permissions page.

But there's no such option for users or other entities, while in certain situations, especially for community projects (communities, social networks, social intranets, ...) the user pages are at least as important as node pages. They should have the same option.

Steps to reproduce

Proposed resolution

Implement the same option at /admin/appearance but for user pages:
Use the administration theme when editing or creating users

Might look like this:

Remaining tasks

  1. Discuss, if this would make sense to select per entity type or for other entity types like taxonomy terms
  2. Implement with tests
  3. Review
  4. Release

User interface changes

/admin/appearance has a new option

Use the administration theme when editing or creating users

to control whether the user profile create and edit form should be shown in the admin theme or default theme.

API changes

Data model changes
