Description

This is a follow-up of https://github.com/kiwix/operations/issues/547

We offer many files for download, across various URLs/subdomains.
Although we don't encourage it, it's legitimate that users look at those downloads URLs and try to explore and discover.
There was a time in the past where that was all we offered.

There are a few things we want to do there:

- redirect _regular_ users to standard download locations (GET for readers, Browse for ZIM)
- provide instructions to advanced users and integrators about
- release permalinks (Kiwix and openZIM)
- nightly permalinks (Kiwix and openZIM)
- ZIM permalinks
- OPDS API
- Torrent and magnet feature
- Digests feature
- Metalink and mirrors
- Tools like kiwix-seeder, etc.
- Other protocols (FTP, rsync)
- Mirroring instructions

This page will be hosted on the Hub but it won't be linked to from anywhere on the web pages.
