allow a requeststring like "?channel=(production|stable|daily)" to return URL to latest .tgz of chosen channel

This would be very helpful for automated deployments, for example by providers who want to deliver automated fresh installs only from the stable channel.
As this could be machine-readable, this could also perfectly suit the need of having a better info site about the release channels (see nextcloud/nextcloud.com#504), which could be plugged onto here.

This would also be useful for the docker image.

At the moment i have to update the tags manually.
See for example: nextcloud/docker#397

Because there are other things that were more urgent ;)
