wlr_scene: Cull background

We don't need to worry about the black rect optimization here (that
always assumes that there will be a black background) because the
background is culled based on the render list. That means if a black rect
is removed, the visibility will reach all the way to the bottom forcing
the renderer to clear the area not breaking the assumption.
