Better background graphic

[GoldenChaos]

Right now the page background is flat black and looks super lame when loading new tiles. We should use a Sheikah Slate-inspired grid graphic.

@neoluxx do we have this graphic already? I know you've made a lot of sheikah stuff.

i can do that; i would wanna use a brand new one so that it ends up being more in line w/ ZU's upcoming design language. I'll put it on my to do list.

how large are the map tiles? i think i would wanna make the tileable background the same tile size as the map tiles.

@neoluxx all of the tiles are stored in this repo! https://github.com/Zelda-Universe/Zelda-Maps-Tiles

@neoluxx / @GoldenChaos , please don`t change the original tiles. You can either create a new tileset so we can add to the map or, if the image is not too big, just overlay.

Our tiles are 256x256.

Also, bgColor is controlled by the database configuration in the map container (if not mistaken). Would need to a new column for bgImg (if going with overlay solution) and specify there, so new maps would be able to have different backgrounds.

We're not gonna change the original tiles; I just wanted to see how large the tiles themselves were so that I could design a tileable background with the same dimensions. Seems like it might be a rather versatile solution both in terms of loading times and in future iterations for other games' maps.

I'll get a 256x256 tile put together styled for BotW this week, and you guys can implement it however you see fit.
