Ensure UI is readable if init.el fails early

The background is set to black in early-init.el,
with the assumption that a dark theme will be loaded.

If init.el fails for any reason before the theme is loaded,
the user ends up with black-on-black text.

One expected case where this can happen is if the Emacs version is <29.
The error message from the guardrail in init.el would be unreadable.
