Jagan ac66e7ebd7 fix(sidebar): correct mapping of sidebar section (#186 )

Youtube changed the structure of the sidebar, this caused several toggle target issues in the extension.
-> Hiding you/library removed the section contents but left a small empty container.
-> Hiding other sections hid the wrong ones. Explore hid you/library completely, more from youtube hid explore, settings hid more from youtube. And couldn't hide settings at all.

This commit updates the CSS to match the new DOM structure.

-> Replaced nth-child with nth-of type
-> Realigned indexes to match new structure.
  - `remove_sub_section` targets the 2nd section (Subscriptions)
  - `remove_quick_links_section` targets the 3rd section (You / Library)
  - `remove_explore_section` targets the 4th section (Explore)
  - `remove_more_section` targets the 5th section (More from YouTube)
  - `remove_settings_section` targets the 6th section (Settings)
  - `remove_footer_section` still hides `#guide-renderer > #footer`
-> Modified the order of the buttons in src/content-script/main.css to match the order in the sidebar.

Resolves: #185
