Description

Enhancement Type

Improve an existing feature

Describe the enhancement

Currently, REMOVE_OLD_MODS only targets the mods and plugins directory.

https://github.com/itzg/docker-minecraft-server/blob/46a09ed33103074f9c956a8cdf08bed564e40738/scripts/start-setupModpack#L19-L23

I propose we rename the variable to REMOVE_OLD_FILES and allow the REMOVE_OLD_FILES_INCLUDE to contain the path globs the user wishes to remove.

Research direction

Start with scripts/start-setupModpack at the linked lines, then search the repository for REMOVE_OLD_MODS and REMOVE_OLD_MODS_INCLUDE to find all affected references. Done means the setting is consistently renamed and the include value supports the requested user-defined path globs, with existing behavior preserved.
