This is prepatory work for implementing jarmods support for
modpacks.ch, where we will need to look through files in a directory -
which would require that those files are present at such time.
This might even fix some weird bugs, maybe - I've not encountered any
bugs from how this previously worked, but I feel that what's going on
is slightly clearer now.
There aren't any (currently) packs on modpacks.ch that use Fabric, but
they do have support in their modpacklauncher. This patch just means
we preemptively have support should any packs that require it be
introduced.
This does not support any custom modpack.jar for 1.6 or newer, it simply uses standard Forge then.
Supports Forge and Fabric, and JAR mods for 1.5 and older.
Models are based on the models from my go-modpacksch library.

Forge apparently removed all `.pack.xz` files without warning.
It broke a bunch of stuff, as always. But it also means we don't need some ugly code anymore.
This is removed:
- Support for 'forge-pack-xz' and the forge-specific file download compression.
- The pack200 library we no longer need.
This stays:
- The LZMA decompression library - we may still want to use it.
