Description

If a user could right click on an open tab and change the background color of that specific terminal, It would help the user know what tab they are on when using Ctrl+PgDwn

Also having an option for hex color code for guake startup command scripts, Setting the tab background color for tabs that are set to automatically run when guake starts would be very useful.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Find the tab implementation in the codebase (likely Gtk.Notebook or similar). Add a right click context menu option to change tab background color. Modify the settings to store per tab color. See existing color customization for reference.
