Add Proper Support for Lucky Block Addons in Modpacks

This is necessary for modpack creators who want to include lucky block addons to benefit people creating said addons (such as myself) in the same way modpack creators currently can for mods.

The only method for creating a modpack which includes lucky block addons requires said addons in a pre-packaged file, which does not support lucky block addon creators with the downloads they should be receiving for their work. This creates problematic situations where the existence of packs on your platform incentivizes pack creators to reupload addon creators' work. This is due to your system, which at present has no alternatives, that could remedied by a single change to the way lucky block addon dependents are handled.

The fix I propose is that for lucky block addons, which already have a tag on Curseforge to flag them as such, your system places the downloaded files in a different folder. Instead of placing the downloaded file into the mods folder, it should instead place lucky block addons in the addons/lucky folder (for versions 1.13 and newer) and addons/lucky_block (for versions 1.8-1.12.2).
