Add BIOS file management and device sync #32

Description

@JZimz

Add support for managing BIOS files and syncing them to devices alongside ROMs.

Many emulators require BIOS files to function (PS1, GBA, Saturn, etc.). Right now users have to manually figure out where these go on their device and copy them separately. Would be much more
convenient if ROMie handled BIOS files the same way it handles ROM syncing.

How it could work

  • Let users import/manage BIOS files in the app (similar to ROM library)
  • Know the correct destination paths for different BIOS files per device/system
  • Automatically copy required BIOS files to the device during sync operations
  • Optional: Validate BIOS files with checksums to ensure they're correct versions

Done when

  • Users can add BIOS files to ROMie's library
  • BIOS files sync to correct device paths during normal sync
  • Works for common systems (PS1, GBA, Saturn, etc.) on MiyooMini+
