Create GUI for Backup-Utility

[Dari0o]

Add a GUI for Backup-Manager.py.

The GUI should look minimal and clean and the program should still work via python BackupManager.py, with all it's CLI arguments in the console. The GUI mode should only start when executing the python-file with an CLI argument like: python BackupManager.py -gui
The CLI argument is intended for development purposes only, so make sure you can distinguish it from the other code by adding comments (in BackupManager.py).

When Backup-Manager is production ready, we will add an installer in a separate issue

The GUI should include options for all CLI arguments (see README).

What to do

• add GUI as described in a new python module
• add CLI argument to start Backup-Manager in GUI mode
• needs to pass all tests
• add new tests
• run the GUI version locally to ensure everything works

Files to change:

• BackupManager.py
• test_BackupManager.py
• add new GUI module

If finished, reference this issue in a pull-request.
Work in the gui-developement branch.

This can be added later. Once the GUI version is implemented and can be launched using:

python BackupManager.py -gui

we can create an installer that allows users to launch the GUI directly by simply clicking the installed application, without needing to use the command line.

Hello @EmaniPreethika, adding a installer is a good idea to make the code production ready. It allows us to make a release only for the console line and a normal one with the GUI interface for the normal consumer. You are right if we do it like this, the CLI argument is unnecessary for the console line release, but we need to keep the console line version, because Backup Manager has to be available for console line operating-systems.
After the GUI is added I will add a separate issue for the installer, feel free to work on the GUI version first, and thank's again for the idea and your other contribution!

Sure, no problem and take as much time as you need to make it as good as you can! Good luck and thank's for trying.
