Update tools.js

Just a tweak really - re-ordered the zeroing-out checks in getFirmwareHash() to match the expected order of each section within the BIOS file. This may help to avoid a theoretical issue where bytes in user-substituted content (e.g., a boot logo) accidentally matches against some other blob of binary we're searching for using findSequence(). Doing the search-and-replace in the expected ordering should help to avoid that... I think? Won't hurt anyway!

+  Version 1.4: Re-ordered the getFirmwareHash() zeroing-out checks to match the
+    expected order to find them in in the BIOS file - just some future-proofing
+    in case some user-substituted content (e.g., a boot logo) happens to contain
+    bytes that a subsequent call to findSequence() might accidentally match. I
+    also added some comments with the rough location of each block within the

+    it into the right place :)

   Version 1.3: Added support for blanking out the SNES audio bitrate and cycles
     bits that `bnister` identified as a workaround for the "start-SNES-games-
     twice" issue that cropped up in firmware versions after March
