Add table with API to MC version mappings about downloadindexer HOT 7 OPEN

We would need to add that information in SpongeAPI first. Right now, SpongeAPI doesn't have any indication (in the code or the JAR) for which MC version it is designed for.

To be exact, there are probably no changes needed in SpongeDownloads: All that is needed is to add a minecraft dependency to SpongeAPI's mcmod.info file. Dependencies are exposed automatically.

We need this information for existing versions as well

I can add them the next time I make database changes. I never really spent much time making the database changes backward compatible because there is an additional client that can re-index all downloads quite quickly. It already has existing code to override certain things in the mcmod.info files of the artifacts, it's not hard to add the mapping for the older artifacts.

I would love if this could be done sooner rather than later. Something to replace my hand-maintained SpongeAPI <-> MC version mapping API for MCDev: https://github.com/minecraft-dev/minecraftdev.org/blob/master/versions/sponge_v2.json

I'd rather just parse a Sponge-maintained API that is actually kept up to date, as mine frequently falls out of date (which, at the time of me writing this comment, it currently is).

Question: Does API 7 target Minecraft "1.12" or "1.12.2"? The API generally shouldn't change at all for the minor point updates.

API 7 targets 1.12.2, I think 1.12 was originally being targeted but forge very quickly updated to 1.12.2
