Add a special background to use for performance testing

Browse source 
Performance testing was producing inconsistent values at different
times in the day since the GNOME default background is animated and
sometimes has a single layer, and sometimes two blended layers.

So we have consistent numbers, install a simple animated background
with GNOME Shell that has 40-year long transition ending in 2030,a
and set an environment variable in gnome-shell-perf-tool so that the
background is override with that background. (The background depends
on files installed by gnome-backgrounds; we assume that the person
running performance tests is doing so within the scope of a full
GNOME install.)

<!-- With an animated background, performance will differ depending on whether
one layer or two layers are being blended together. This messes up our
benchmarks. We could just benchmark a single image, but since blended
images are present for much of the day with the GNOME default background,
we want to make sure that also performs well; for that reason we ship
an "animated" background that animates super-slowly to use during
performance tests; it will be in the blended state until 2030. -->
