Fixes the broken directory path in the standalone ROOT CVMFS installation example on root.cern/install/#standalone-root.

1. Problem

_includes/root_stable_dir reconstructed the CVMFS directory by string-splitting the download tarball filename, producing an invalid path on AlmaLinux

Changes

  • root_stable_dir: Extracts the platform directory directly from the release's CVMFS paths (matching x86_64-almalinux9, with an x86_64- fallback).
  • install/index.md: Adds a link to the release page for other supported platforms.

fixes #948

Extract the valid CVMFS platform directory directly from the latest release.

Add a link to the latest release page for users on other platforms.
