Detect Fabric API and FAPI modules to display better potential solutions #1105

Along the lines of #889 and #840, I would like for Fabric Loader to special-case/hardcode detection of Fabric API and FAPI modules to display better potential solutions to users.

Currently users get confused when they see something about fabric or fabric-api-base. It'd be great if Fabric Loader knew that the best solution is to just install Fabric API.

The benefit of putting this in Loader is that Loader is backwards compatible. While Fabric API on Minecraft 26.1 will finally be removing the fabric ID, users will likely continue to use older versions like 1.20.1 and this would help them a lot.

Supposedly FMJ v2 will allow mods to declare a root/parent mod, but who knows when that'll happen...
