Allow users to change background even when a theme is installed

Project Member Reported by yyushkina@chromium.org, Sep 11

Issue description

See questions about this in https://www.reddit.com/r/chrome/comments/9cykqu/request_a_dark_theme_that_looks_like_incognito/

Can we allow users to customize the NTP background even if they have a theme installed? 
Also to confirm: if a user has a theme that does not set a background, do we let them customize their background?

Issue 851035 includes previous related work on this.
Synced with Yana offline. Plan of action is to allow the user to customize the background if there is no theme or if the theme has set the background to some color (and not an image)
Status: Started (was: Assigned)
Clarification: We may still want to show the gearhead and override the theme image with the user selected image.
I made the code changes. Yana/Ramya, can you take a look and confirm behavior?

Looks great!
Nice!

Btw, another good theme to sanity check with is https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/black-red-shards/jpjlkkaalgfbbegfnjoclhfidancjpch. This theme applies to top chrome (which I think 'Unknown Space' does not.
