Download Warning

There is a big safety warning on the bitcoin.org site indicating that users should be really careful when downloading binaries from bitcoin.org. The site says that there is a risk of state sponsored attacks. Especially the Chinese community should verify the signature before running the downloaded binaries.

This being the first time a Core release is mentioning possible "state sponsored attackers". This warning is awkwardly specifically directed to the Chinese miners.
