wasi-sdk-11 release: 18.04 deb missing?

[orestisfl]

I don't see a 18.04 deb in https://github.com/WebAssembly/wasi-sdk/releases/tag/wasi-sdk-11. Is 16.04 mislabeled?

I think we decided to for 16.04 for max compatibility. However you should be able to install it on 18.04.

For that matter, I don't remember why we have two deb packages here since 16.04 should work on any recent ubuntu. @pchickey do you remember?

There's two debs provided because we build both of them as part of CI - no other reason. 16.04 is built with a docker image, and we specifically keep it pinned at that ubuntu for maximum compatibility. 20.04 is built with github CI's ubuntu-latest environment.

There is no 18.04 build. If there's a compelling reason to create one, we could use another docker image to build it for the next release.

I suggest we instead just ship a single .deb (the 16.04 we build in docker). I'm hoping it should just work everywhere and we can revisit if it doesn't.

I suggest we remove the 16.04 from the name so people don't think that is the only version it works on.

I just confirmed that the deb we call 16.04 works fine on by debian/testing system, for example, so it not even limited to ubuntu.

Sounds good to me. I am hesitant to rename the files currently in the release because I (and maybe others?) already download them in CI scripts. I will instead re-upload the 16.04 one with the suffix dropped, and stick to that process in the future. I've added a note in the release text as well.
