Description
Add tools for background and master slide management.
Suggested:
- pptx_get_slide_background (read background image/color/gradient)
- pptx_set_slide_background (set solid color, image, or gradient background)
- pptx_get_master_slides (list all master slides with content)
- pptx_update_master_slide_text (modify text on master slide — affects all slides using it)
Business value: brand customization, batch theme changes, dynamic backgrounds.
Complexity: High — master slide changes require understanding cascading updates through the master→layout→slide inheritance chain.

Research direction
Start by tracing the toolkit's existing slide-reading and content-update entry points, then map how master slides, layouts, and slides inherit from one another. Done means the four suggested background and master-slide operations support the listed image, color, gradient, listing, and text-update behaviors without breaking cascading updates.
