Shorter/Improved remapped names

[solonovamax]

Currently, when mods are remapped by loom, they result in names that look like the following:

loom_mappings_1_19_4_layered_hash_40359_v2.net.fabricmc.fabric-api:fabric-data-generation-api-v1:11.5.2+26f09d40f4

This name is quite long and unwieldy, and is annoying to look at in your IDE when attempting to find the sources for a particular library.

I would like to propose that instead when remapping, the loom_mappings_1_19_4_layered_hash_40359_v2 bit can be replaced with, for example, a 6 character MD5 hash of the minecraft version & the mappings used (ofc properly accounting for layered mappings). eg. minecraft 1.21.1 using yarn mappings version 1.21.1+build.3 might result in the following remapped mod name:

remapped_cd6b1a.net.fabricmc.fabric-api:fabric-data-generation-api-v1:11.5.2+26f09d40f4

cd6b1a is derived from the first 6 characters of the MD5 hash of minecraft-1.21.1:net.fabricmc-yarn-1.21.1+build.3. minecraft-[version] is used to indicate the minecraft version, and [mappings group]-[mappings module]-[mappings version] is used for the mappings used. They are concatenated with a : to separate them.

another alternative to prefixing the hash in front of the group id would be to prefix it in front of the version:

net.fabricmc.fabric-api:fabric-data-generation-api-v1:remapped-cd6b1a.11.5.2+26f09d40f4

this would keep some of the more important information at the front, such as the group id and module name.

Yes, I I do think we can improve this. We do need to make sure that the group is diffrent, it could maybe even be something as small as.

abc123.net.fabricmc.fabric-api:fabric-data-generation-api-v1:11.5.2+26f09d40f4 🤔

why specifically the group id?

also tbh I was originally gonna put smth like that but I wasn't sure if it was clear enough where the hash was coming from
