Collection Folders

- mods/
  - Collection/
    - ModA/
      - data/
      - modinfo.json
    - ModB/
      - data/
      - modinfo.json

Collection folders do not act as mods. They don't have activation or ModIDs.

A mod manager may bulk enable/disable based on those folders though...

modinfo.json is required for mods in sub-folders.

Mods can be read directly from .zip files. Each individual mod within the .zip file is treated as a mod.
