Auto-detect most likely download

[TrueBrain]

In the old setup, we did server-side detection (Based on the User-Agent) what the most likely download is that you would be needing. In the new setup we cannot do this server-side anymore, so we need a client-side detection script for this.

Here we would like to see only 'win64' if you use Windows on a 64bit system. This greatly reduces the amount of bug-tickets because people downloaded the wrong binary.

I guess something using navigator.userAgent should work ( https://www.w3schools.com/js/tryit.asp?filename=tryjs_nav_userAgent )

Possibly another idea is to use something like this:

Then we don't have to figure out all the quirks of Browsers :D

Best library I could find:

Does OS and Arch detection, and pretty well. Seems good maintained.
