Carbon: Publish the storybook addon carbon-addon-theme as a package for use by other frameworks and projects

Summary

The current source base has added a storybook addon to allow the theme to be manipulated in a storybook. This is really nice and would be great if it were published as a package and usable in other projects and frameworks.

This is a development activity

I agree that it'll be a nice addition. Not sure if the team wants to maintain such Storybook add-on in this core repo, but if it can be maintained in another Carbon repo it sounds super.

I've looked through the addon, and it's well structured and I think can be used exactly as is by other projects. So all that would be needed would be to split the files out from the react package into their own package to publish. This might also help with developing the theme panels further as there are people who might be able to help (eg me). I'll draw up a PR for review.
