Add a directory that mods can safely read/write any number of files to. #336

For some mods, it's nice/necessary to read and write more/larger files. This can be done in unsafe mode, but it would be great to do in normal safe play.

I think a generated folder Mods/Data/ for a mod in Mods/Packs/ would be a good safe spot for a mod's files and internal directories.

Sounds reasonable and it's probably pretty straightforward to sandbox io.open to one folder. I suppose it would also be useful to copy files that shipped with the mod to this persistent data folder.
