Update Windows Tailwind executable download path

[rtr1]

Hello. When I run python .\manage.py tailwind runserver I get the message:

Tailwind CSS CLI not found.
Downloading Tailwind CSS CLI from 'https://github.com/tailwindlabs/tailwindcss/releases/download/v3.3.5/tailwindcss-windows-amd64'

Which errors with 404 not found. The download link in Tailwind Labs repository is:

https://github.com/tailwindlabs/tailwindcss/releases/download/v3.3.5/tailwindcss-windows-x64.exe

With the differences being:

• x64 instead of amd64
• Includes .exe suffix

If I update these two functions it downloads the correct Tailwind CLI executable:

def get_system_and_machine(self) -> Tuple[str, str]:
    """Get the system and machine name."""
    system = platform.system().lower()
    if system == "darwin":  # pragma: no cover
        system = "macos"

    machine = platform.machine().lower()
    if machine == "x86_64" or 'amd64':  # pragma: no cover
        machine = "x64"
    elif machine == "aarch64":  # pragma: no cover
        machine = "arm64"

    return (system, machine)

def get_download_url(self) -> str:
    """Get the download url for the Tailwind CSS CLI."""
    system, machine = self.get_system_and_machine()
    extension = '.exe' if system == 'windows' else ''
    return (
        "https://github.com/tailwindlabs/tailwindcss/releases/download/"
        f"v{self.tailwind_version}/tailwindcss-{system}-{machine}{extension}"
    )

With the changes being:

• Add or 'amd64' to if machine == "x86_64" or 'amd64':
• Add extension = '.exe' if system == 'windows' else ''
• Update the f-string to include the {extension}

I'm using Python 3.11.3 64-bit on Windows 11 with Django 4.2.4

It also has issues recognizing tailwindcss.exe when installed via scoop (linked in ~/scoop/shims/ by default)

@rtr1 I plan to work on this issue on Friday. I would be happy to see someone let the test suite run on Windows, as I only have Macs and Linux machines at hand. Could you do this for me?

@oryon-dominik I think you are referencing to the same topic as Jeff did in his discussion entry (#65). I plan to add the functionality to reference an externally installed CLI. I will create a seperate ticket for this.
