Subject: [PATCH] cosmic-workspaces-epoch: substitute fallback background path

The directory `/usr/share/backgrounds/pop/` is not accessible on NixOS
because the directory `/usr` does not exist on NixOS. The package
`cosmic-wallpapers` exists in nixpkgs that provides the background image
that is used in the COSMIC DE's screenshots on the first-party
website[0]. Substitute the unreachable, FHS path with a valid path of
the background image from the Nix store.

Note: We are putting in a different fallback background path alltogether
but I believe that this is okay because that is used by upstream in
their marketing materials. Meaning, after substitution, we match
marketing screenshots from upstream.
