Initialize addons before Forge's missing mappings check

[Zidane]

In later Forge 1.7.2 builds and 1.7.10 on-wards, Forge does a check between client and server for missing block mappings when a player joins. Only after that check does Forge fire events for player/client join. Obsidian sends addons that add blocks/items when a player joins.

This is a classic chicken and egg issue that is a blocker. We need to figure out a way to download/initialize addons before the mappings check.

I know exactly one method that runs before the mappings check, because it's
there for mods to do their own check. It's a NetworkCheckHandler method,
but it does't seem to have enough parameters to load up the addons list
because we don't have any idea what server we are connecting to or what
player is connecting to us.
