📄 Description

Since crashes are a natural part of a complex emulator project, this PR mitigates save corruption by automatically copying the running game's save folder to a backup location.

Addresses https://github.com/shadps4-emu/shadps4-qtlauncher/issues/58.

Backup saves can be enabled/disabled using the GUI, and the interval between backups can be configured as well. English only text has been added for the GUI, but placeholder English text is in place for each .ts file.
