itlt v2 rewrite

[PaintNinja]

Hey @zlepper, just wanted to make you aware of the on-going rewrite of ITLT and check that you're okay with it before going ahead and publishing an alpha marked build of it on CurseForge.

The rewrite isn't finished but should be done within a few weeks. I don't expect you to look at every tiny detail of the code, just a quick skim-read and your approval as I respect that this is originally your mod and don't want to end up changing its direction in a way you don't like.

Planned new features and changes in v2:

• All the features from v1 with minor bugfixes and improvements throughout
• Localisation/Multilingual support
• Highly configurable, detailed comments
• New warnings and requirements system
  • Min and max RAM allocation
  • Min Java version
  • Wrong Java arch
  • Custom guide links for each type
  • Native-looking pop-ups
  • Selectively ignoring warnings when the launcher doesn't allow the setting to be changed
• Basic client-side anticheat system
  • Notifies servers with itlt when a client joins with known cheat mods
  • Up to the server staff what to do with cheaters, be it notifying staff when a cheater joins, preventing them from joining entirely, doing nothing, etc...
  • Automatic updates of cheat mod definitions (checksums and modIds)
• Work towards cross-mod-platform code for a future option of Fabric version of ITLT
• Support auto-detecting modpack name and icon on more launchers
  • CurseClient
  • MultiMC

Once approved and v2 is finished, I'll backport it to 1.16.1, 1.15.2 and maybe 1.14.4. If you do not approve, please let me know what you would like changed so I can sort it out :)

Gave it a rough lookover, looks nice.

Though i'm a bit unsure if this kind of mod is the place for anti cheat detection, rather than a proper dedicated mod?

But if you feel like it's a good idea, i'm all for :D

Thanks! I'll continue development then. :D

Regarding the cheat mod detection: The anticheat is pretty basic and is meant to compliment a dedicated anticheat plugin on servers. The idea of including it in itlt is that it's not a lot of code and would easily get a really wide reach being that this mod is already used in a lot of modpacks, which is important for the feature to be effective (otherwise you have the chicken and egg problem of people not using it server-side because barely any clients have it and people not using it client-side because barely any servers use it so why bother).

Finally finished. Went off on a bit of a tangent and had some unexpected IRL stuff get in the way, but it's done.

Thank you for allowing me to work on such a popular mod. :)
