Backup GB Studio Saves #166

Hey! Thanks for making this software, it's great!

Feature request: It would be great if GB Studio/Saves were included in the save backups, as I almost always play GB/GBC games through GB Studio to get the filters (and I imagine many others do too). Would be helpful for homebrew games too, ofc!

I tried to work around it by (ab)using the Fetch-functionality - fetching from my Pocket to my backup folder, but it didn't work since it seems the Fetch location can only be on the pocket drive 😬

Looks like this didn't go in with the initial work on "Saves" since the GB Studio saves are off in their own folder.

Could get it in by creating a fake console for GB Studio then putting logic in to handle reading the save from the right place & writing it back to the right place.

I suspect that once the 2.0 update drops with OpenFPGA video filters the amount of people using the GB Studio feature (even to run games made with GB Studio, which can be distributed as .gb roms) will be small
