finalizing: script v1.3.0

Browse source 
- Move script backups to /gm9/backups/.
- Remove redundant silent A:/backups/essential.exefs backup.
- Fix logical error relating to moving Nintendo 3DS folder off of SD card.
    - If Nintendo 3DS folder is not detected, script will now propmt user to skip to making a NAND backup
    - This will create a file in SD:/gm9/flags/ called BACKUPFLAG
    - If this flag is present when the Nintendo 3DS folder is present (re-added), the script will tell the user that a NAND backup likely already exists and prompt the user to either create another backup or to skip creating the backup
- Move database dummyflag from A:/dbs/ to SD:/gm9/flags/
- Change errors to error levels, and adjust top screen accordingly
    - "Information" indicates that the user didn't do anything wrong, but that the user must do something that deviates from the normal guide (e.g. create title database, NAND backup flag tripped) - indicated on top screen with `(i)`
    - "Warning" indicates that the script will continue, but will not complete as intended (e.g. no Nintendo 3DS folder) - indicated on top screen with `/!\`
    - "Error" indicates that the script cannot continue due to user error (incorrect GM9 version, missing files, etc) - indicated on top screen with `:(`
    - "Fatal Error" indicates that the script has triggered an error that should not occur and requires debugging (CIA install fail, invalid SD size) - indicated on top screen with `wtf?`

Guide also adjusted accordingly.
