Cloud Foundry CLI download endpoint now returns 404 for Windows 2019 builds

[angaaruriakhil]

Description

When running the following script as part of a Windows 2019 build, https://github.com/actions/runner-images/blob/main/images/windows/scripts/build/Install-CloudFoundryCli.ps1, the endpoint is no longer accessible and returns a 404 not found error.

I have tried in my web browser on my personal machine as well and the endpoint no longer returns a binary.

This makes windows 2019 builds fail.
