Full bleed background color

Problem

I'm trying to build a PDF that has a colored background, but I don't believe that's currently possible with this library.

Adding background color to user_css gives me a background color, just not full-bleed to the edge of the page. I've tried setting margins to 0 on body, html, and @page, and setting width/height to 100%. I also can't get the background color to take the entire height of the page, if the content is only part of the page.

Request

When creating a Section(), it should have a background_color option. If it's set, when creating a new PDF page, first draw a rectangle with that background color before populating the page with anything else.

Thanks for the interesting request.

This could be a useful improvement, but I can't give a timeline for implementation.
