Subject: [PATCH 1/2] [llvm][release] Add links to automatically built packages
 on release page

This adds links to the release packages that are automatically built
using GitHub, so that users of those platforms can find them more
easily.

The approach taken:
* "LLVM x.y.z Release" becomes the title for this links section.
* No hand built files are linked to because we can't be sure
  when or if they will appear. It's better that users check the
  full file list if they need those.
* This means no Windows links, but I've specifically mentioned
  Windows just below the links to mitigate this.
* I have tried to use the vendor names for the architectures,
  that casual users would recognise.
* Their signature file is linked as well. I expect most will ignore
  this but better to show it to remind people it exists.
* I called it "signature" as a generic term to cover the .jsonl
  and .sig files, but we're not linking to any .sig files yet.
* Links are initially commented out and there is a placeholder string.
  Once all binaries are built, the placeholder is removed and the
  download links revelealed (we wait for them all so we don't
  have many jobs racing to update the release text).

I considered generating this using a lot of templates, but
considering the small number of links and how useful it is to
see the layout in the Python file, I prefer writing it out.
