Description
Previously: #1784
On the main WordPress.org site, the download link leads to the latest.zip
file with the latest stable version. It can easily be used in scripts, CLI tools, etc.
On Rosetta sites, the download link includes the version number, so people cannot easily link to the latest version without specifying the exact number. See an example request on the forums.
Links like https://ru.wordpress.org/latest-ru_RU.zip are available, but are not mentioned anywhere and cannot be found unless you already happen to know the URL.
For consistency and better discoverability, download links on Rosetta sites should link to the latest.zip
file for the locale.

We should probably switch all of these over to using the
download.wordpress.org
hostname for consistency too, edit: but I guess the short urls are much more memorable..You'll find them at the following URLs:
https://downloads.wordpress.org/release/latest.zip (en_US)
https://downloads.wordpress.org/release/ru_RU/latest.zip
I was going to suggest switching the main download links to include a version number for consistency, but upon seeing that we do indeed serve
content-disposition: attachment; filename=
headers for the latest alias, I figured switching it's pointless (and was only going to lead to outdated cached pages)
