Description

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**

The download page has tabs/buttons for the LTS releases but not the latest STS version (24 at the time of writing. We should make it possible for users to get all supported versions easily without additional clicks. The LTS versions are all clearly identified in the names in this screenshot so there should be no reason not to have 24 in this list:

**Describe the solution you'd like**
`JDK 24` (or whatever the current STS is) should be alongside the other releases on the page showin above.

**Describe alternatives you've considered**
n/a

**Additional context**
Noting that at the moment to get a version of JDK24 from the top level adoptium web page you have to click `Other Downloads` -> `All Versions` -> Chnage the drop down from `21 - LTS` to `24`, scroll down because the page won't necessarily show you the table there:

Potentially click an architecture tab (or select it from the drop down) and then click the small download icon (perhaps that could be a more visible button?).

That's a total of at least 5 clicks, or 7 if you want a non-default architecture on the web page (Linux defaults to aarch64, so our most popular x64 is non-default) and want to switch it to a JRE (which isn't in the top drop downs), which seems like an unnecessarily large number.

Research direction

Start by locating the download page and the tabs or buttons that list LTS releases. Check how the current STS version, architecture choices, and JRE downloads are exposed; done means supported STS releases are available alongside LTS versions with fewer clicks.
