Make deep links to latest *.msi release files possible by removing the version from the filename

Summary of the new feature / enhancement
As a developer, I want to directly link the Windows Installer File (MSI) of the latest Win32-OpenSSH release, so that I can simplify update instructions and automation.
This is currently not possible due to the filename that contains the specific version.
I suggest removing the version number from the filename, so that OpenSSH-Win64-v9.4.0.0.msi becomes OpenSSH-Win64.msi and therefore the following deep link will always resolve the latest installer:
- https://github.com/PowerShell/Win32-OpenSSH/releases/latest/download/OpenSSH-Win64.msi
Only the MSI filenames need to change. The other files can be reached like:
- https://github.com/PowerShell/Win32-OpenSSH/releases/latest/download/OpenSSH-Win64.zip
Proposed technical implementation details (optional)
