[Feature] Add background to chase layout scenes in order to have preview images inside the compendium #130

The scenes in the Chase Layout compendium are not generating preview images.

It appears to be less of a bug in SWIM than a quirk in Foundry. It seems like Foundry is using the background image as the preview of a scene in the compendium, ignoring any tiles placed on it. Since the chase layouts deliberately come without a background image (to avoid copyright issues and to not imply that users will have to use it), there is none in the compendium. The only way around that would be to set one up which I am on the fence. But I will think about it.

I'm currently negotiating something with a company to hopefully bring some quality artwork to the scenes. I'll put this on hold for now.

I have added example backgrounds for the upcoming release. I encourage everyone to set up their own backgrounds however. But it should at least make everything more visible.
