Force-pushed to address a revert of the "Iris Only" and "Iris + Fabric" labels, since they were updated in-code but not in the underlying .form file. |

Allows for the selection of separate instance and Minecraft directories. This was done to simultaneously address #40 without also causing issues for players who make separate folders for different instances.
Since Iris' installer is very beginner-friendly, I'm interested to hear if we should hide the "Minecraft directory" selection behind an "advanced" checkbox or not. On one hand, it may cause extra confusion, though on the other hand, the defaults are good as-is for people who would be confused in that situation.
This can be tested by launching the Minecraft Launcher with
--workDir SOME_PATH, then pointing the Minecraft directory to that same path. The instance directory can be pointed anywhere, including that same path. I've tested this using two different paths, neither of which were the usual.minecraftand both being pointed to.minecraft. I haven't tested this on macOS or Linux, though I don't foresee any issues cropping up there (famous last words).Please let me know if you want me to make any changes, address any issues, and/or do any code cleanup. I tried to follow what the codebase was already doing, but I'm also happy to clean things up instead while I'm here.
Closes #40.
