placement of sha256 checksums on releases page

sha256 checksums are not in a properly formatted files(or a file). this makes it difficult to use them.

in case more information is required

example file( https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/iso-cd/SHA256SUMS ) with proper formatting.

most recent affected releases: https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/tree/v7.0.0-preview.2 https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/releases/tag/v6.2.2 https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/releases/tag/v6.1.5

---

current workaround(incomplete, not preferred):

1. Scroll up or down till you find it. Select the checksums on releases page and click Inspect Element and the copy the contents of

<ul>...</ul>

1. Remove the useless text …

note- its not preferred because most people don’t expect this to be how a popular project to provide checksums.

I created https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/pull/16147 to add the sha256 hashes.

We are going to be required to provide this format for the contents of our packages. Generating this should be simple as we will have a task to just generate this. Imagine this for packages, how much more difficult would this be to use?
