Description of what this PR is changing or adding, and why:

Updates /install (sites/docs/src/content/install/index.md) so users can easily find how to download and install the Flutter SDK:

  • Adds a ## Choose an installation method heading so installation appears first in the Table of Contents.
  • Updates the top cards to clearly present Install with VS Code (/install/quick) and Download and install manually (/install/manual) with explicit action buttons (previously, manual SDK download was hidden two clicks deep under Custom setup).
  • Adds a ## Set up target platforms and IDEs section linking to platform setup guides, IDE setup, /install/custom, and the learning pathway.
  • Adds a link to /install/manual in the Download previous releases note and fixes a PATH code-formatting issue in the troubleshooting cards.

Note: The team is also aware that the broader Get Started / Install navigation UX is fragmented across several different entry points (such as the top Get started button, the Get started sidenav section, and Manage install at the bottom of the sidenav). That larger navigation and UI cleanup is out of scope for this PR and will be addressed separately.

Issues fixed by this PR (if any):

Code Review

This pull request updates and restructures the Flutter installation documentation, introducing clearer options for installing via VS Code or manual download, and updating sections on target platforms, upgrades, and troubleshooting. The review feedback suggests minor documentation style adjustments to align with the style guide, specifically avoiding the contraction 'you'd' and removing an unnecessary comma in a two-item list, along with updating its corresponding link reference.

Should we link it to the top of the manual installation page (https://docs.flutter.dev/install/manual)?

The current link took me directly to the "Install and set up Flutter" section, whereas the option to select the desired OS, in turn the relevant SDK download link, is in the "Choose your development platform" section.

We're closing this PR for now and will open a new PR in the near future with a more comprehensive update to the install page as part of a broader effort to improve the overall get started and install experience.
