Fixes #483

A temp solution because these links appear to be quite popular 😄. We can think about a prettier place to stick 'em when we move forward with the rest of the redesign.

I shifted them over to align with the download button. (They both use translate: transformX(-20px);)

I would prefer we turn the platform buttons above the button into a link for systems & languages, and I don't think we need the Privacy link there.

The What's New link doesn't really make sense either since it's using the same string but leads to a completely different place than the What's New in the top menu.

I can see dropping What's New (as that is linked on the System & Languages page), and Privacy, but I think we should still have a "System & Languages" link available. I don't think the little platform icons are suitable for being download links though, too small and not descriptive on their own.

I can see that working if we embed them into the download button, with a little dropdown to select alternative platforms. (Along with a "More" or a "Other languages" option that links to "System & Languages".)

For now I can just do throw in System & Languages as a temp solution, and we can discuss design at another time/ticket?

Also ugly mock up of what I was suggesting (ignore the System & Languages they would go in the dropdown :) )

To me the fact that it's a combination of the platform icons implies they could be a link to downloads for all platforms, at least that's what I would think if I saw them on another site. Optimally they would have a mouseover effect, though, for sure.

Sure that's fine.
