Make Beta version download more visible on the AGS webpage

For a while the website is displaying a link to the forum thread of an upcoming Alpha/Beta version of AGS on downloads page, but it's hidden under a very obscure "Other Downloads & Resources >>" spoiler, and even there it's  somewhere in the middle of the links list, named "AGS Work in Progress Releases", with a link that leads to a forum thread.

(For some reason a "Previous version" link is even more visible)

This apparently is quite inconvenient and people keep missing its presence.

Is there anything that could be done with this?

From my experience, when software's Beta is ready, their websites have both latest stable and next wip version downloads as two buttons together.

I've added buttons for beta and nightlies links to the top of the page.

@AGA thank you,
I noticed one problem: the button remains even though I removed the "in-development version" data (because there's no Beta version currently).

Ah, good point!  I've added a check for the relevant strings' lengths before showing each of the three button types.
