Can't download for non-default version, system or lanugage anymore #483

Seems there's no longer any link to https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/all/ from the site. That was very needed, in case you need to download another version to try something out with a version not automatically guessed.

There should also be a link to https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/releases/ somewhere.

This should be made a priority. It should be easy for our users to download the version they need, and not have to search the web and download from arbitrary third party sites, for example, see here for a recent complaint: https://mastodon.online/@tb@social.lol/111179321450316469

index.html shows a download button, followed by 

<small>{{_('Free forever.')}} <a href="{{ donate_url('header') }}">{{_('Donate')}}</a> {{_('to make it better.')}}</small>

which is shown as

Free forever.  Donate to make it better.

How about showing the following below that line:

Advanced: [Download for other languages or operating systems] or [view release notes].

Linking to the links that Magnus has given above.

I think we should just bring back the ol'

Three links side by side displaying the contents System & Languages, What's New, and Privacy.

Any objections @micahilbery or @Sancus ?

That's fine with me. Even if it's just a stopgap between now and when the full site redesign takes place.
