Support changing background #135

I prefer my background to be #000000. You rejected #102 saying:

I would try to provide alternative solution to overload any gruvbox color

I would like this feature.

Using the workaround (mentioned in #74) "works" but is fragile; switching colorscheme or changing background causes the change to be lost:

colorscheme gruvbox
highlight Normal guibg=0 ctermbg=0

It would be nice to have "official" support for this.

@morhetz, yes please... add a feature to tweak the colors, I prefer too a darker background that the one by default.

@docwhat @kascote #74 Here's a solution to tweak a colorscheme without the strange cornercases when switching to another colorscheme. 

colorscheme gruvbox
if g:colors_name == "gruvbox"
highlight Normal ctermbg=16 guibg=#000000
"List other overrides here
endif

I sometimes want to use guibg=NONE, and perhaps it has to do with my $TERM value but the last set background persists when un-setting Normal's guibg. The way I'm dealing with it for the moment is with the following modification in gruvbox:

" Vanilla colorscheme ---------------------------------------------------------
" General UI: {{{

" Normal text
call s:HL('Normal', s:fg1, s:none)
"                             ^ changed to none

And then setting the colorscheme with

silent! colorscheme gruvbox

to suppress a bunch of E420's
