Description

Add support for the Screen.bgpic() method. One challenge is that the PyCharm canvas only supports PNG graphics, not sure about the browser. The turtle module supports at least GIF and PNG graphics, so either add support for GIF to PyCharm and the browser, or use PIL to convert if it's installed and fail if it's not.

Also check why it currently fails with a weird error:
