Description
https://github.com/microsoft/go/issues/453 created major-version-specific links, like "latest 1.18". We might need to make more general links that always point to the newest released toolset, regardless of major version. For example, https://aka.ms/golang/release/latest/golatest.linux-amd64.tar.gz.

Research direction
Start by reviewing issue #453 and the existing aka.ms release-link setup. Define the general links described here, such as the golatest.linux-amd64.tar.gz example, so they resolve to binaries from the newest released toolset regardless of major version. Done means the links are created or updated and point to the intended latest-release binaries.
