random-background: add bgSupport documentation
On NixOS it is necessary to set `bgSupport = true` when creating a
Home Manager desktop manager session. Otherwise NixOS will add code
that sets the background, overriding the effort made by the
`random-background` module.

Fixes #955
Pull request #956
