Subject: [PATCH] feat!: drop the Early tag from the Windows download rows
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Windows is no longer younger than the other two platforms, so the "Early"
pill it carried on every download row — the label pill on the direct .exe
rows and the one under the Microsoft Store badge — no longer says anything
true.

Removes both renders, the now-unused `tagCls`, and `dlEarly` from
`UIStrings` and all nine locales. `DownloadGroup.windows` stays: it still
selects the unsigned-download note under the Windows column, which is a
separate and still-accurate claim. With no string left to read,
`VoiceDownloadRow` no longer takes a `ui` prop.
