Stop distributing ISO images

I think that we'll get there at some point and I want a place to track our thoughts.

  • We could distribute only USB images for virtual machines.

    It requires not-too-complicated magic on the command line for VirtualBox. (#18054)

  • DVD represented 5% of WhisperBack reports in 2019/2020.

  • In June 2020, ISO images represented:

    • 4% of downloads when compairing /install/download and /install/download-iso
    • 29% of downloads across all download scenarios, including 17% on /install/vm-download
  • I don't think that any of our personas would ever prefer a DVD over a USB stick.

Benefits:

  • No more #18045 (closed).
  • Dropping a bunch of pages and code on our website.
