fix(v2): dynamic dark mode detection without toggle widget

[hmil]

Motivation

Dynamic automatic dark mode detection is disabled when the manual switch is hidden. But I want to enjoy the benefits of automatic dark-mode switching without showing the manual toggle.

See details in #3876

Yes

Test Plan

With the following config:

    colorMode: {
      defaultMode: 'light',
      disableSwitch: true, // Don't show manual switch
      respectPrefersColorScheme: true, // But respect user preference!
    },

Not shown in the screencasts: Currently, the correct color theme gets applied but only if you do a hard reload of the page. The difference that this fix makes is that you don't have to reload the page anymore.
