fix(defaults): wait until VimEnter to set background (#26284)

The OptionSet autocommand does not fire until Vim has finished starting,
so setting 'background' before the VimEnter event would not fire the
OptionSet event. The prior implementation also waited until VimEnter to
set 'background', so this was a regression introduced when moving
background detection into Lua.
