See also #459 for an example use case. In that case an option to save separate backup copies might have been useful since the main file happened to be corrupted

Initial work on auto backup of files

- At a regular time interval, check for modified files and send a copy of the scores to be saved from a background thread, to avoid blocking the UI
- The files are saved under the app data directory, e.g `~/.local/share/powertabeditor/backup`
- Make the Score class copyable to allow making a copy that can be safely moved to a background thread

This has been added now - files with unsaved modifications can be backed up at a regular interval (default 30s), and the backup folder location can be opened from the File menu.
