Will attempt to launch mods using incompletely downloaded dependancies #188

If a mod is set to use latest builds or latest versions of a dependency mod, and you try to launch the primary mod while those dependencies are still downloading, Knossos will try to use the incomplete version. Which doesn't work well, naturally.

The easiest way to resolve this would be to just disallow launching mods while background tasks like mod updates, installations, etc. are happening since it's generally not safe to use the mod metadata during that phase.
