Title: Ability to add label background colors added

I needed the ability to add background labels so you can clearly make them out on the map.

The code I used to do this was mostly taken from http://trac.osgeo.org/openlayers/ticket/2349. I updated this code for the latest version of OpenLayers, slightly modified the code to clean it up a little, and added the change to the relevant example.

I think this code will be of use to other people.
