The workaround was needed as old overlay contents were not being erased when the page background was transparent. That problem no longer seems to exist, so the workaround has been removed in favour of always setting a fully transparent background. This also seems to fix the blue flicker that has plagued overlays.

Description of the Change
There was a workaround introducedd for #1976 where we set the overlay page background to something not-quite-transparent, otherwise the overlay contents might not be cleared. Unfortunately this appears to be the cause of the flickering that overlays are known to have. This PR removes the workaround and always sets the page to have a transparent background.
It is necessary to set the page background to invisible in
updateContents()rather than just leaving it up tohandlePage(). I found that if a stat sheet has content that takes a bit to load (e.g., Rev's "Anim" stat sheet), the overlay would render as pure white for a moment before transitioning to transaprent.Possible Drawbacks
