Version 2.1.0 - Fixes and improved add-on API

Changes:

• Improved print_table API in CLI module, now considering terminal width to avoid overflowing and reducing columns width in such cases, also adding ellipsis to the cell's text.
• Improved add-on API, now possible to import portablemc and portablemc.cli directly from add-ons. Add-ons should now define all functions/classes directly in the module, and no longer the load() function. This works for both PIP-installed and single-script versions of PMC. All add-ons have been updated.
• Added an API documentation.
• New function get_addon_mod in CLI module to directly get the module of an add-on by its name.
• The constructor of AuthSession no longer requires the legacy_filename argument, none by default.

• In archives add-on, now updating archives metadata id to the real name of the version's directory.
• In fabric add-on, now adding an empty jvm arguments into the generated version metadata.

Fixes:

• Fixed broken deterministic username and UUID (#50, thanks @intact).
• Fixed non-existing fields when fixing authentication database, with Yggdrasil in particular (#49, thanks @Ristovski).
