Deprecating IOBit in lieu of custom folder installations with GDK package. #161

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Minecraft used to be a UWP, where you had no access to modify files, with it changing to a GDK with the 1.21.120 update, normal users can specify a custom install directory where they have proper write access to the game's folder. Powershell was having other issues for me earlier, nothing with the install or file permissions, or even execution policy, that was bypassed. The current version of the installer requests to have IOBit installed. I just downloaded the rtpack and unzipped to the correct folder since the installer gave a false error.

Describe the solution you'd like
Instead of defaulting to a program that tampers with core system permissions as a solution, now that players can access their install files, it might be good to either drop IOBit altogether, or suggest the user try to copy the files themselves if Powershell has odd permissions issues.
