Allow mods to be listed for community archived versions.

Is your suggested enhancement related to a problem? Please describe.

Currently, Modrinth only lists versions available in the vanilla launcher. This means mods created for archived versions - such as Indev - have to be incorrectly marked to even be uploaded to the platform.

Describe the solution you'd like

Add community archived versions to the game versions list in a mods metadata.
For the front-end, this could either have a symbol next to the version name, or a checkbox to allow listing of community archived versions.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Allow uploading versions without the game version metadata.
For the front-end this could show as "Unknown", and could have an "Are you sure?" warning when uploading without a game version. For the app, mods listed without a game version would only show in searches with the "Override Game Versions" check on.

Additional context

Community archived version names should probably be obtained from Omniarchive.
