hekate - CTCaer mod v3.1

New in this version

• Implement millisecond timer
  This is a must and a very important feature, because we expect to use the bootloader more than 71 minutes (Backup/Restore). This has the side-effect of fixing a lot of stuff. Especially on SDMMC operations.
  If you had problems with read/write/verify on eMMC or SD, the new version is a must.
• Fix the verification code at last!
  Another side-effect of using a 32bit ms timer (from the μs original one). Plus additional fixes to variables that could not fit in u32 storage, makes the fix complete. Thanks to all the testers that helped to tackle these dreaded bugs.
  Better redo that backup!
• The Fusée patches for 4.X are now fixed
• The sd files archive bit removal tool, now only applies to switch folder
