[API Request] Add tags to /api/mods/{name}

Hey, it would be nice if we could get the tags with pulling /api/mods/{name} and /api/mods?nameliste={name},{name},{name}.

It would make pulling alot of mods at once easier.

This is also the only information missing from the overview, like seen in this picture.

Because doing this: https://mods.factorio.com/api/mods?name ... t_machines doesnt return the tag, only everything else.

Greetz,

Hey there, unfortunately I've decided against this for now. This endpoint has a lot of legacy cruft to stay compatible with old factorio versions, adding new features to it is a bit of a pain. Due to the dynamic nature of the namelist parameter it's also not that friendly to our caching setup. It might even be faster for your use-case if you go directly to the `/full` endpoint as it's directly served from cloudflare in most cases.
