Rebuild the background control

[aristath]

The current implementation is pretty horrible...
Something like this would make more sense: https://github.com/devinsays/customizer-background-control

This would be a great feature!

+1 for this!

I would like to see it allowing a background color though, so maybe making the image optional? Otherwise it might be more logical to name it "background image control" rather than "background control"!

Edit: This would be lovely to use in repeaters as well! Having to use multiple dropdowns and radios to do the same thing at the moment.

aristath it's kind of a funny you talks about devin's background control cause when he develop this stuff he talked about your background control here

[aristath]

@robbisy Yeah, I know... but there's no denying his control is way better-coded than the one included in Kirki!!
I have decided to implement a new background control that will save the values in an array, so we'll avoid creating a bunch of separate theme_mods or options.
The only issue is backwards-compatibility, which will be taken care of as explained on #952 (comment)
It's just gonna take some more time but it's the right way to do it. 😄

Will this be happening in 2.4?

[aristath]

Booya!
Nailed it. :)
Version 3.0 includes a new background control.
May need some improvements in the UI, but otherwise 100% functional. closing this one.
