Description
Problem
I'm trying mdBook 0.5.2 with output.html.theme = "third_party/theme" and a theme/ directory and the latter is completely ignored. The latter contains only the favicon.
Proposed Solution
Allow theme/ to override output.html.theme specified theme.
Allow head.hbs combination as well.
Notes
- allow head.hbs combination

Research direction
Start by locating the theme-loading entry point for output.html.theme and theme/; reproduce the issue with the shown mdBook 0.5.2 configuration and a favicon-only theme. Check how head.hbs is handled, then verify that files in theme/ override the configured theme and that head.hbs combination behaves as specified.
