This changes the downloads endpoint to return the five most downloaded
versions of a crate, instead of the five most recent versions. This
should make the endpoint more useful for users who are interested in
seeing the most popular versions of a crate.
In particular it helps with the case where a crate has many pre-release
versions, which are not as interesting to users as the stable versions.
Fixes: #4336
I'm not certain this is the right approach and will discuss more in the discussion thread. Putting this here as something which maybe can be tested against live data to understand the perf issues. I'm not sure how to do that.
