Download links should lead to standalone DEX apps #41

After DEX standalone apps are available fully (eg. https://github.com/decred/dcrdex/pull/2333, https://github.com/decred/dcrdex/pull/2351) it makes sense to distribute those instead of Decrediton (like it currently does on this page):

Perhaps this footer also needs adjustments, once standalone apps are finished (it currently links to Github releases page):

Agreed. But don't fully remove Decrediton (it still may be a better option for some users), just make the standalone app a more visible and recommended option.

Currently it is reversed: first you get the 3 big buttons to donwload Decrediton, then 1 big button for Umbrel, than the "alternative" download link "Click here to download the standalone DCRDEX application instead".

Thinking more about onboarding flows (https://github.com/decred/dcrdex/issues/2563) I think the issue here is "choices are hard" and the fix is to guide through the choices and explain them.

Issues I see with the downloads block:

To address these the downloads.html partial can be restructured as follows:

The other partials (intro and get-started) are good, except I'd tweak the 1. Intro to point to the revised download sections instead of directly to GitHub.
