Consistent "LTS" version naming or tagging across versions/platforms #25261

Summary of the new feature / enhancement

Hello Superfriends -
I would like to push out the PS 7x LTS version across a fleet of windows "Core OS" systems, but I find that:

  • with the "install-powershell.ps1" script, I can download a 'daily' release or standard latest release (ex: 7.5.0), not an LTS release.
  • If I try to look for tag like "LTS", no tag exists
  • If I try to look for a filename that contains "LTS" it only exists for select non-windows platforms
  • Naming of the download file is not consistent across platforms (see above)
    Would you be kind enough to do one or all of these?
  • Input a tag field for LTS
  • Name the files consistently across platform - dashes, dots, underscores should be used the same way.

examples:
powershell-lts_#.#.#-#_os_arch.[ext]
powershell-lts_7.4.7_win_x64.msi
powershell-lts_7.4.7_win_x86.zip
powershell-lts_7.4.7-1_deb_amd64.deb
powershell-lts_7.4.7-1_rh_x86-64.rpm
powershell-lts_7.4.7-1_linux_x64.tar.gz

Thanks for your attention, I know everyone's working hard.
