[Bug 1308723] Re: clear, after background_color command uses a black color and thus only colors a frame

I noticed a very weird behavior by executing below commands in grub
console:

```
set pager=1

background_color 44,0,30

# from now on all the text will be printed with black background but not
color 44,0,30

help

# help will show a long list of commands, since we have set pager=1 then
it will first pause on the first page, all the text are displayed with
black background.

# then we press space to view next page, and we can notice that the background is now correctly set to color 44,0,30 instead of black.
```

It seems that some settings are not fully synced in command
background_color, but it's synced by the pager switching.
