[issue8111] docs.python.org/download.html unhelpful.

Georg Brandl <georg at python.org> added the comment:

Raising to "release blocker" status to get the changes that fix this and that are already in 2.6 approved by Barry.

The revisions are: r78907, r78914, r78923.

I'm attaching a patch with the collective diff.

In short, these changes mirror those done on the other active branches, which makes sure that all daily builds are done consistently.  Code is added only to the Doc Makefile and the "download documentation" template, both of which are not relevant to the released distribution.  Another rc is definitely not needed.

With these changes in place, we have:
- more consistent daily documentation builds (no longer coupled to the test runs by Neal)
- daily builds suspended for stable branches during the release process
- documentation downloads also for the development builds
- strict separation between released docs and daily updated docs
