Feat: Add global instance CSS customization setting

Allow instance admins to add custom CSS that will affect
every page of their instance.

This is done with a new CustomCSS instance setting that
works pretty much exactly like the Users CustomCSS property.
This custom CSS is then requested for every page load.
User styles/themes take precedence over this CSS.
