Separate forum and homepage resources

[Ippo343]

Original issue opened by @Almagnus1 in NetKan.

Quote:

After having spent a lot of time going through the incompatible mod lists looking for mods that should be updated since they have a .90 release, I have noticed that a lot of mods do not have a homepage, however, I would be willing to be that virtually all mods have a KSP Forum page.

To help improve the meta files, I propose adding a "forum" resource to the same node that has the homepage resource, specifically so mods can have a dedicated link back to their forum posting, and also a link to a homepage, if the mod author wishes to host a homepage somewhere other than the KSP forums.

This seems totally reasonable to me. From the spec:

The resources field describes additional information that a user or program may wish to know about the mod, but which are not required for its installation or indexing.

Lots mods have homepages and forum threads, so it makes sense to have both.

We could probably add some intelligence to netkan to populate "forum" if the URL makes sense, but that's really just a nice-to-have, and completely independent of spec changes.
