Make release binary name fixed.

Describe the request

I think it would be better to remove version number from release binary name and make it a fixed name.

The advantage of this is that if you want to get latest release for example, you can get it with a single link like this:

curl https://github.com/arduino/arduino-cli/releases/latest/download/arduino-cli_Linux_64bit.tar.gz

Currently, because version number is included, two steps are required: first obtaining download url of latest release using GitHub API etc, and then accessing binary.

curl $(curl https://api.github.com/repos/arduino/arduino-cli/releases/latest | yq '.assets[] | select(.name == "*Linux_64bit.zip").browser_download_url')

arduino-cli_1.2.0_Linux_64bit.tar.gz
            ^^^^^

arduino-cli_Linux_64bit.tar.gz
           ^

Hi, just chiming in 👋 Great idea! I know your pain. It does not solve your problem, but I always get the Arduino resources (CLI, language server, etc. ) from the official Arduino download servers. They're just superior to GH release assets.

I would not change the release artifacts name, though, but rather ask the Arduino people to redirect the no version or the latest version to the actual latest version on their official download servers; there was something like this in the past with the nightly Arduino IDE; it redirected to the actual latest nightly.
