Changed preferred SourceForge URL #12486

As outlined in #4678 and #1021, this project is aiming to reduce/eliminate the use of version :latest. It seems to me like a natural step to achieving this goal would be using versioned sourceforge urls rather than their latest downloads. This will also help prevent potential issues with mac applications that add a windows version after the cask has been created (unlikely but certainly possible).

If this change ends up getting pulled, I'll handle updating the casks currently using sourceforge latest urls to versioned urls.

You should still leave the instructions to the latest download url, even if they’re moved under the version-specific one. I seem to remember some casks that you still couldn’t get an unersioned package, so it should remain as a possibility.
