List library backgrounds

Lists the background library: backgrounds a style names with `overrides.background_ref`, each drawn by the compositor from CSS gradient layers (no image files), with its license and source. Every entry is redistributable (MIT or B3OS's own); the MIT packs name their notice in `GET /v1/render/backgrounds/packs`. Public: no API key, rate limited per client address, and answered from the edge's cache for up to 5 minutes. The whole library fits in one page, so `next_cursor` is always null.
