Unofficial Hombrew Cask for Audacity 2.3.3 (recent 64-bit version). Get around Fosshub's limitations

# Unofficial Hombrew Cask for Audacity 2.3.3 (recent 64-bit version) 
# Made entirely for fun and to demonstrate how to get around fosshub's limitations.

# Problem: Audacity's binary is hosted on fosshub and they don't provide a fixed url! The seems to intentionally try to prevent "hot-linking".
# Solution: Make a request to fosshub's special XHR endpoint to get the signed download url.  Then just pass that URL to Homebrew

why should the brew cask repository care about limitations fosshub has?

See the comment from @vitorgalvao here: Homebrew/homebrew-cask#27517
That’s their reason.
