[PATCH] Include a link to /verify for pre-releases

Some beta users asked how to verify their downloads.  Others didn't
know the checksum used SHA-256 instead of SHA-1.  As a first step,
adding a link to the /verify page might help.

It's not the best, as users would have to find the *-CHECKSUM file
manually.  This is mitigated a little because the verify page states
"to verify your ISO, start by downloading the proper CHECKSUM file
into the same directory as the ISO."

If we need to be more explicit, we could add links to the CHECKSUM
files on get-prerelease, but that page is already a bit cluttered.

Anyone opposed to adding the /verify link for now?  Or does anyone
see a problem with how I've done it here?  I don't know the templating
stuff very well, so I could be doing it all wrong.  The site did
build for all languages with this applied, which seems like a good
sign. :)
