When backgroundColor has alpha = 0, skip ANSI.setRgbBackground() call to allow terminal's native transparency to show through. Previously, the renderer would always emit RGB background escape codes even when the theme specified a transparent background (alpha = 0), overriding the terminal's transparency settings. This enables custom themes with "background": "none" to properly render with the terminal's transparent background.
