Unlike the old installer in config/module, this uses new-style
installation directories that include the static module path so that paths
we show in diagnostics will be more meaningful to the user.
As before, we retrieve the entire "package" associated with the given
source string, rather than any given subdirectory directly, because the
retrieved module may contain ../ references into parent directories which
must be resolvable after extraction.
