After migrating from Squirrel, I realized that Velopack has always had a background under the splash screen.
This PR fixes that by enabling true transparency, and also adds options to hide or change the color of the progress bar.
The changes to splash screen rendering for transparency also improve DPI handling. (#633 , #236 )

This looks like a reasonable and well done change. Thanks very much for submitting. I'll do some testing! One nitpick would be: I feel like the CLI option should be more clear that it's related to the splash screen. e.g. --splashProgressColor. Also, in the endeavor to minimize the number of CLI options in total, I feel like the "no progress bar" option could be combined into --splashProgressColor None
