    Summary:
    BUG: 182994
    
    Adds an option to the config dialog that enables background color (the color around the displayed page) to be changed (while by default preserving the Qt toolkit selection as not to affect existing users).
    
    Reasons for this change:
    Accessibility, eye strain, aesthetic reasons, color displayed on monitor can affect power consumption (how: depends on display technology).
    Many people want this change occording to Bugzilla and other sources.
    
    Maintenance: Nearly no additional maintenance:
    This is no new subsystem but a trivial feature with no complex code dependencies, and we are already showing a colour selection dialog and setting colours in other places in Okular.

    Test Plan:
    Tested everything, it all works:
    Toggled the custom background color, changed custom background color, removed okular settings file (with: "rm ~/.config/okular*") to verify it uses the usual qt theme colour by default (where the settings file remembered the custom color).
