Make it easier for a user to start up a plain core Drupal instance

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

As an evaluator of Drupal (or an experienced dev looking for a porcelain environment) I want to be able to spin up a patchless release of the current release of Drupal.

Currently, DrupalPod states:

Open an issue page on Drupal.org to see the available options.

but I don't want to open an issue just to get an environment, and asking new users to "find an issue" might be daunting.

Describe the solution you'd like

On the "open an issue page" screen, add some text like "... or start from Drupal core." where the link takes the user to an install with the current Drupal core release and some sensible defaults:

  • branch: none
  • patch: none
  • core version: current release
  • install profile: ??? (I'd suggest standard or umami)

Describe alternatives you've considered

Alternatively, we could add a link to some placeholder issue where users can go?

Additional context

That's it. Thanks!

https://ddev.github.io/ddev-gitpod-launcher/ does essentially the same as this. Maybe putting the link that that generates into a button on the module would work?
