Add .pkgs installation to https://manjaro.org/get-manjaro/

https://manjaro.org/get-manjaro/, which download section perhaps used more frequently and exactly this section lacks .pkgs description file showing which packages are provided.

PS: Is https://download.manjaro.org/ still avaliable? It says 404 not found so I wonder why @philm use this URL instead of the https://manjaro.org/get-manjaro/ on the forum. It seems that all the mirror sites pointing to https://download.manjaro.org/ fail too

download.manjaro.org is our CDN network, which doesn’t list files, hence we added redirects, which partly not work on Firefox.

Whats wrong with the redirects?

…oh I see why …

    <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5; URL=https://manjaro.org/download/" />

This is probably the least-preferred way of doing a redirect.
A proper 301 should be used … or even use something like domain forwarding with cname.

Well, that is the only way we can do it on the CDN and also there should be no 301 as otherwise the downloads higher in the tree won’t work anymore. Before it was only “new_url” which land to the 404 page.

Works fine on Chrome …

Heh.
It looks like I found the real culprit …

    <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="time; URL=new_url" />

That is also declared after the first meta.

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en" dir="ltr">
  <head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
    <title>Manjaro Files</title>
    <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5; URL=https://manjaro.org/download/" />
  </head>
  <body class="not-front not-logged-in page-node node-type-book no-sidebars">
    <p><img alt="logo" src="https://www.cdn77.com/design/logo_cdn77_small.png" /></p>
    <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="time; URL=new_url" />
    <p>If you are not redirected in five seconds, <a href="https://manjaro.org/download/">click here</a>.</p>
  </body>
</html>

(fourth line from the bottom … with it removed, the redirect works ok in firefox)
