Update and expand Chromecast device families. This adds support to differentiate between types of Chromecast devices and operating systems, and fixes erroneous classification of Android-based Chromecasts.
Test
Extracted several current useragent strings from various device types in a lab, then added them to the automated tests in us-parser-js. These tests are passing.
Impact
No breaking changes AFAICT.
Other Info
I'm a current member of the Chromecast team at Google, as well as the TL for the open source Shaka Player. We test our video player on many, many devices in a lab using Karma, which uses ua-parser-js to match test results to each device. We need these changes to differentiate between the Chromecast devices in our lab.
