[issue23415] add-to-pydotorg does not support .exe installers for Windows

New submission from Larry Hastings:

Steve is using new technology to make the installers for Windows.  He generates four installers now:

* .exe for Win32
* -amd64.exe for Win64
* -webinstall.exe for Win32 web-based installers
* -amd64-webinstall.exe for Win64 web-based installers

add-to-pydotorg does not recognize these.

I attempted to hack it up to add support for them.  All I did was modify the "file_descriptions" structure, adding new lines for each of the four new types.  I believe my edits worked fine, but it failed to add three of the four installers.  The first .exe it processed worked (the plain ".exe", the Win32 non-web-based installer).  But the last three failed with the error message:

    Sorry, this request could not be processed. Please try again later.
