Www.rust-lang.org: current stable version should link to blog

I think that the current stable version text under the get started button should link to that version's blog post like in the old website.

FWIW at this point I think the best solution if we want this is to just edit the code/template manually and re-deploy at release to link the version string to the blog post. From the release team's/my point of view, that's fine, but I can imagine that being something we're hesitant to do right around big publicity

I think this is already in the mind of the Rust core team :

388

i agree! it's a bit hard maintenance wise but i'll work with @Mark-Simulacrum to see if we can't figure something out!

@meven it's similar to what #388 says but it goes beyond it, for all releases!

IMO, the fewer manual steps for a release the better, and we should avoid doing this if the only way involves a manual step.
