`docs._ext.djangodocs.visit_console_html` generates the HTML for the
console directive in docs and has buttons for Linux/MasOS and Windows
This is not very screen reader friendly.
The main issues are that the labels are not read out properly (it should
read out the current title but is reading the content of
`/`).
That these are clickable and what happens when you click them are also not
clear.
I think it might be better to turn this into tabs:

Some examples in docs:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.1/intro/contributing/#getting-a-copy-
of-django-s-development-version
Example html:
{{{
<div class="console-block" id="console-block-0">
<input class="c-tab-unix" id="c-tab-0-unix" type="radio" name="console-0"
checked="">
<label for="c-tab-0-unix" title="Linux/macOS">/</label>
<input class="c-tab-win" id="c-tab-0-win" type="radio" name="console-0">
<label for="c-tab-0-win" title="Windows"></label>
<section class="c-content-unix" id="c-content-0-unix" style="display:
block;">
<div class="highlight-console notranslate"><div
class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="gp">$ </span>git<span
class="w"> </span>clone<span class="w">

</div>
</section>
<section class="c-content-win" id="c-content-0-win" style="display:

<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="gp">...\></span>
