DEVON apps: standardize livecheck URLs

[EricFromCanada]

Important: Do not tick a checkbox if you haven’t performed its action. Honesty is indispensable for a smooth review process.

In the following questions <cask> is the token of the cask you're submitting.

After making any changes to a cask, existing or new, verify:

• The submission is for a stable version or documented exception.
• brew audit --cask --online <cask> is error-free.
• brew style --fix <cask> reports no offenses.

If we're looking to align these DEVON cask checks, there may be something to be said for standardizing on not including the leading app directory name in the regex (e.g., /easyfind). The regex is already anchored to the app filename (e.g., EasyFind.app.zip), so including the leading app directory name isn't necessary to get a correct match and doesn't appear to provide any particular benefit.

Digging into this some more, some of these freeware apps have an in-app updater that checks a plist URL (e.g., EasyFind checks https://www.devontechnologies.com/Updates.plist?product=EasyFind&version=5.0.2, which redirects to https://api.devontechnologies.com/1/apps/updates.plist.php?product=EasyFind&version=5.0.2). The file contains version information for various DEVON apps:

I tested it out and the casks in this PR can use this approach, so if that makes sense to you I can push commits to check that instead (i.e., usually we prefer to align with the in-app updater when possible).

@samford Sounds good. Do teach me your sleuthing methods someday.

I can't speak for @samford, but @krehel turned me on to Proxyman which is great for finding this kind of stuff.
