prototype 5.2.0-alpha4

This release introduces theme configuration in Prototype for the first time, including both install defaults for block region positioning and a new setting feature that allows users to enable/disable a back to top button through the UI. With the introduction of configuration the theme generator was updated to reflect the new folder structure so that future themes are provided this functionality by default.

Two new components were introduced in this release: a back to top and global search bar. The back to top component is programmatically added in the .theme file and provides default footer support but includes documentation for moving this to the page level. The search bar component provides a clean template with default animations and accessibility features for a collapsable search.

Removed in this release is the pseudo element approach regarding ordered lists as browser support for ::marker is more robust than it was previously.

Some minor updates include in the generator file adding the abbreviated command to the usage example and a typo fix in the menu preprocess for setting active trail.
