Add warning for old and redirected Curse URLs
During Curse updating, addon URLs are accessed to check for any URL redirection that may occur on Curse's end. This can occur when a user has specified an old URL for their addon, such as for a since-renamed addon.
While these addons update correctly, it could be useful to warn the users that they are using an out-of-date specification to encourage them to update the specification.
Did some poking on this for a little and had a thought -- is there any reason why we wouldn't want to automatically update a user's addons.txt
and installed.ini
with the proper URL if its detected as redirected or out of date?

@amas0 Hey. Yeah I guess I never thought about this. I think this could be a decent improvement, but I think it's a pretty infrequent occurrance, and doesn't really save a round trip (since every URL is checked, like you added), so I might not go out of my own way to implement such a thing.
Still open to PR's of course!
