Adds a manual x64 (musl) download option for Alpine Linux. Compatibility ranges limit the option to Node.js release lines that publish Linux x64 musl artifacts, while x64 platform autodetection remains unchanged.

Validation

• Read the contributing guidelines and followed the commit conventions.
• Formatting and lint checks passed (Prettier, changed-file ESLint, and site lint).
• Unit tests passed: 162/162.
• Type checks passed (lint:types).
• Production build passed.
• Added tests for musl artifact URLs, supported release compatibility, and unchanged x64 autodetection.

@AugustinMauroy I couldn't find a related issue or PR for the original musl builds. This PR just adds the download option for the existing artifacts.

This isn't a real release. -alpha is being introduced with 27.0.0. earlier release lines don't have Alphas.
