 The new "Download Tor Source Code" page is confusing because it provides
 links for Windows, MacOS and Linux. But the source code is platform
 independent, so there should be only one link that is good for any
 platform.

 The OSX and Linux links are pointing to the source code, however the
 Windows one is not pointing to the source code, but to an old version of
 the expert bundle.

 If in addition to the source code, we want to provide links to the Windows
 Tor binaries (which we used to call the "Expert Bundle" on the old
 website), the correct download links should be (for 32 and 64 bits
 versions):
 https://dist.torproject.org/torbrowser/8.0.8/tor-win32-0.3.5.8.zip
 https://dist.torproject.org/torbrowser/8.0.8/tor-win64-0.3.5.8.zip

 Using variables from `databags/versions.ini` to create the URL, I think
 8.0.8 is `torbrowser-stable->version`, and 0.3.5.8 is `tor-
 win32-stable->version`.
