Revamping the Downloads Page

[derickr]

This issue tracks all the changes that need to happen to make #1277 ready to be pushed live.

This is not quite an exhaustive list, and more items can (and will!) be added in the future.

For now, the items are:

• Make the 'multi version' checkbox also work on submitting the form.
• Add a "I want to do everything from source checkbox", which will then show the old instructions
• Decide which frameworks should be present
• Decide which third party runners should be featured — these should be freely available
• Write instructions for each combination
  • Add instructions for Fedora clones, and Remi Repo
• Extend the instructions for not only installing PHP, but also with the web servers, which might need another drop down box.
• Move instructions that are currently linked (https://www.php.net/manual/install.unix.php and https://www.php.net/manual/install.macosx.php) from the manual to this mechanism
• Handle Windows binary installs, with perhaps links to XAMPP and friends.
• Write better logic and routing for all the different instruction possibilities (in downloads-get-instructions.php)
• Test it with JavaScript disabled

What do you mean by “runners” here?

In any case: Adding Docker as a variant would make sense to me. The images are already available, similarly to Sury's Debian repository / Ubuntu PPA. ref: https://hub.docker.com/_/php/
