Patch releases are missing installation information #1168

Description

@Elarnon

For a new minor version (e.g. https://ocaml.org/releases/4.11.0.html ) the release page includes information about how to install them: they list the available OPAM switches, and include a "Source distribution" section with links to tarballs.

On the opposite, patch releases (e.g. https://ocaml.org/releases/4.11.1.html or https://ocaml.org/releases/4.10.1.html ) include none of them, leaving the user to figure out on their own how to install them. Granted, this does not actually require much work, but unless they are already familiar with the OCaml ecosystem, the user does not know that.

Including those section in patch release pages would make it easier for users to install the most up-to-date version instead of falling back on the latest point release.
