Provide image downloads on the homepage

Ideas for improving the image download page and frequency of released images. What we currently have: https://images.postmarketos.org/ (we could still put test images there)

New version:

• have it integrated in postmarketos.org, a "download" button somewhere
• selection of channel (stable (recommended), edge)
• selection of device (provide all devices in main and community)
• selection of the image
  • images for all devices in main/community should be generated on the same day, so they have the same state
    • https://gitlab.com/postmarketOS/postmarketos-images/ can do this, we only need to shove it into a cronjob and configure it
  • stable image generation triggered manually (so we could have v20.05.1, v20.05.2, ... when it makes sense, e.g. now after there was a new firefox-lts version pushed to alpine stable)
  • edge image generation triggered weekly
• once the image is selected:
  • display the download link
  • quick install instructions
  • link to the device's wiki page for details

I'd like to have this implemented without javascript.

@MartijnBraam: do we currently have enough disk space to make this feasible?

added discussion label

Disk space isn't an issue for now I think, I'm more worried about the cpu load required to build the images.
