[yocto] which is the *official* yocto "download" page?

  as one more data point to suggest that the URLs to yocto pages need
some kind of reorg, toward the bottom of section 2.2 in the dev
manual, one reads:

"Tarball Extraction: You can download any released BSP tarball from
the same download site used to get the Yocto Project release."

  the link under "download site" is
http://www.yoctoproject.org/download which, again because of
redirection, takes you here:

https://www.yoctoproject.org/download/yocto-project-13-poky-80

which is definitely inappropriate since that has nothing to do with
BSPs.

  for a number of these things, there appear to be two types of URLs.
in the case of BSPs, there's both of:

https://www.yoctoproject.org/downloads/bsp
http://downloads.yoctoproject.org/releases/yocto/yocto-1.3/machines/

the latter obviously representing the earlier BSP download page before
the yocto web site had a total makeover.  the same can be said for the
"tools" download page -- which of these two is it?

https://www.yoctoproject.org/downloads/tools
http://downloads.yoctoproject.org/tools/

  just looking for consistency.
