Allow installation of mods from mismatching loader in client

This is regarding Minecraft modpacks - Recently, we've seen the rise of Quilt and NeoForge, because of internal issues that stemmed from the Fabric and Forge teams respectively. CurseForge has added integration for both of these modloaders. However, the issue currently is that the client restricts the installation of mods based on the loader your modpack is set to.

Currently, NeoForge is able to run mods that are made for Forge and Quilt is able to run mods that are made for Fabric. This should effectively broaden the scope of mods available for both loaders by a lot. However, in practice, it is annoying to put together a modpack for either loader unless the mod authors have specifically uploaded separate files for all 4 loaders, meaning CurseForge is storing redundant copies of every version of every mod.

Please remove this restriction. It would make sense to have a warning message or something, but please allow us to download any version of a mod from within the client, instead of having to manually download from the web.
