Subject: [PATCH] Collections are packages of their own

A collection is no longer a file inside a mod: it is a package (folder or zip)
named after its id with collection.json, cover and optional locale/, shipped in
collections/ next to the mods or kept by the player in user://collections/.
Covers and texts come from the package; mods do not ship collections.
