"OS default version" is very confusing on the downloads page.

https://www.php.net/downloads.php?os=windows&osvariant=windows-downloads&version=default is very confusing. At first I thought only PHP 8.5 was available. After some exploration I discovered the text `OS default version` is very confusing, and another PHP version can be selected here. I don't understand why the `OS default version` choice is even given. Because when the OS dropdown is changed, the page is refreshed. So in the refreshed page, default PHP version for the OS can already be selected, mostly being 8.5 I think. I see 3 options to improve the situation: * (Preferred) Remove the `OS default version` option, and based on the OS selection, select 8.5 or 8.4 or whatever automatically. * Rename `OS default version` to `Default PHP version for the selected OS`. * Rename the `and use` to `and want to install PHP version`. The contents of dropdown would become: * 8.5 * 8.4 * 8.3 * 8.2 * default for the selected OS. <img width="974" height="540" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/7cf6b388-1bb0-4bad-b05b-856eae71cc0c" />
