DOC: Add light/dark theme switcher

[datapythonista]

With the upgrade to the latest version of pydata-sphinx-theme (see #48285) our docs now are available in dark mode. By default, the Sphinx theme will use the version (light/dark) set up by the user. But would be nice to add a switcher to the navigation bar of the docs, so users can change the theme manually.

See for example in the top right corner of https://www.blosc.org/c-blosc2/c-blosc2.html the icon to change the sphinx theme. I think we should add the same to the pandas docs too.

Hi, I am new to open source and would love to work on this issue. Can you assign this to me?

[datapythonista]

Assigned. In the pandas repo, if you write /take in a comment of an issue or PR, it should get assigned to you. Thanks for working on this. If you need help setting up the environment... You can have a look at the developers documentation: https://pandas.pydata.org/docs/dev/development/index.html

@datapythonista thank you for assigning me this issue.

Hi @datapythonista, I wanted to know for which page exactly the dark theme is available because I am able to see the dark theme only on https://pandas.pydata.org/docs/dev/ and where exactly you want me to implement the switch (page and location)?

[datapythonista]

We are using sphinx and the pydata sphinx theme to generate our docs. We don't need to implement it, we just need to set up the theme to show the light/dark switcher. You can check the theme, https://github.com/pydata/pydata-sphinx-theme and the contributing to the docs section in our documentation to understand better.

Hi, I want to use /take command for other issue, but it seems to be not working.
Does /take command need time to be assigned?
Actually, I want to work on #48561 .
Thanks.

Ah, sorry, I think it may be take without the slash in pandas. Implemented in other projects too as /take, but when I implemented it in pandas having a heading slash was not usual yet

@datapythonista
Oh I think it works.
I think it will be better to provide guide about the commands such as "take" for newbies like me.

[datapythonista]

It's documented in the developers guide in our docs, not sure exactly where, but you should be able to find it.
