Make it easier to use the get multiple routes with slugs

[RandomGgames]

So currently the "get multiple" routes only allows a list of IDs. This is fine, except when you want to automate updating or downloading a list of mods based on just their URL (which contains the mod slug only). This would require a request for each mod to retrieve the ID which is not ideal, especially with the 300 request limit per minute and the potential for a large amount of mods.

I am requesting that either the get multiple routes can accept IDs and Slugs, not just IDs, or a new route is created which will simply return a list of IDs. Something like "https://api.modrinth.com/v2/project-ids" with the parameter slugs=["mod_1", "mod_2"]. This would return a list of ids, such as [mod_1_id, mod_2_id]. This could then be fed into get multiple routes.

This would significantly reduce the amount of requests I have to make.

IF this is already a feature, this should not be a feature request, but rather a bug report, as the get multiple routes on the docs say they require IDs, not IDs or Slugs.

The ideal solution here is just to accept both slugs and IDs in the get multiple route. This was suggested for users in modrinth/labrinth#185 but has yet to be added for users or projects.

D: I would love to see this added. I feel like it wouldn't be too hard even on the backend.. and that was suggested a while ago!
