          Description

          If a user running an unrecognized browser accesses IGB installer download pages, the "download" button does not appear.

          On the Downloads page (for the released version of IGB), a slightly cryptic link appears "Other ways to download IGB" in more or less the spot the button would be.

          On the "Early Access page" (for main-JDK8 branch latest installer build), a link appears that reads "Click here for the released and tested version of IGB."

          It would be better if some other behavior could be developed that would be less confusing to users.

          For testing, see IGBF-3385 comment for how to use Chrome Developer Tools to change your user-agent and observe the above behavior.

                I've updated the commit to forgo a warning on the early access installer page in favor of showing all three installer options by default.

                Ready for review!

                Code looks good and the download and early access pages are working as expected.

                Ready for PR

                Tested on Chrome.

                Downloads page shows the correct installer for the user agent. If user agent is unknown or not supported then it shows a notification that installers for Mac, Windows, and Linux are available and it includes a link to the otherDownloads page.

                Early Access page shows the three installer buttons for Mac, Windows, Linux.

                All buttons appeared to be working and downloaded installers.

                Closing ticket.
