add the reload function inside the themingProvider

[fmarcelo]

We were trying to register theme on the fly and the only way to do it is assign $mdThemingProvider as $provide.value('themeService', $mdThemingProvider) inside the angular config.

In this case the themeService will be accessible to angular controllers and we can registerTheme with $http resolve values.

To apply the theme we call themeService.reload($injector);

This will be very useful for us too! One question:

Shouldn't the reload function be reload: generateThemes instead, so that the new themes actually get generated and output as css in the head? registerTheme doesn't actually output the css, right? Am I missing something here?

Thanks!

@rschmukler, @jelbourn - can you review plz.

[jelbourn]

This needs documentation and at least one unit test making sure that calling reload does what you want it to do.

in 1.0-rc6 it has to be "reload: generateAllThemes" to work, but this still throws some warning logs

+1 (a real important feature for multi-sites angular-based CMS initiatives, where theming is dynamic and set at run time)

@jelbourn i remember that registering themes on the fly was an idea,
If it's not valid please close it.

[jelbourn]

The change seems okay, but it still needs unit testing.

[EladBezalel]

@fmarcelo please add tests

Would this also allow dynamic registration of palettes ? In my use case I need to get hex values from a backend service and use that to create palettes. No luck with any of these changes
