Auto download mods for non-steam server

If the STEAM environment variable is set to false and you have mods in the WorkshopItems key in /data/Zomboid/Server/<SERVER_NAME>.ini.

Mods in the WorkshopItems key will automatically be downloaded and will replace all files in the /data/Zomboid/mods/ directory.

To disable automatic mod downloads, set the DISABLE_MOD_DOWNLOADER environment variable to true.

For Steam server (STEAM=true), mod downloader will not run.
