[Feature request] support transparent backgrounds

[gcoelho05]

Using a base16 colorscheme from this repo does not support transparent backgrounds. I use a transparent background on my terminal, and would very much like to use one in vim too.

I find the way sainnhe's gruvbox material does this very elegant:

let g:gruvbox_material_transparent_background = 1  " 1 = transparent; 0 = opaque

Probably pointless info: I use st with the alpha patch and xcompmgr for transparency.

A PR is open for that I believe https://github.com/fnune/base16-vim/pull/28

But the author hasn't acted on it again. Maybe you can take it up?

Thanks for pointing it out, I hadn't seen that.

I would love to take it up, but I'm afraid I do not have the necessary vim script knowledge, I'm sorry. Hopefully someone else will work on this in the future.

Reopening just in case I find some time to do it.
