Drupal 7 Compatible

A base theme that restores Drupal-7-style markup.

This theme makes it possible to run a Drupal 7 theme on a Backdrop website without needing to switch all the CSS selectors from IDs to classes.

Some changes may still be necessary, but this should make the task of getting a Drupal 7 theme to work on Backdrop site much easier.

• Convert attributes back to a string.

Block template changes:

• Restore legacy block-title class.
• Restore legacy block ID.

• Convert classes back to a string.
• Convert attributes back to a string.
• Convert title_attributes back to a string.
• Convert content_attributes back to a string.

Field template changes:
