Clean Casks from homebrew-casks that were improperly linked as homebrew formula during a brew update. This happened for a spell due to a bug in homebrew that is now fixed, but some people have extra links lying around from when the bug was in the wild. This has been tested and cleans up any symlinks that shouldn't be there.
