BetterTouchTool version update

Similar to #1028, it seems BTT has updated file version names again:

I am successful with the cfg file below for sync'ing between user accounts on the same hosts and also between different hosts, however my main configuration is for the touchbar and only one of my hosts has this device. Nonetheless, the transferred configuration does look correct on the second host.

[application]
name = BetterTouchTool

[configuration_files]
Library/Application Support/BetterTouchTool/urlimported.bttlicense
Library/Application Support/BetterTouchTool/btt_data_store.version_3_387_build_1610-wal
Library/Application Support/BetterTouchTool/btt_data_store.version_3_387_build_1610-shm
Library/Application Support/BetterTouchTool/btt_data_store.version_3_387_build_1610
Library/Application Support/BetterTouchTool/.btt_data_store_SUPPORT
Library/Application Support/BetterTouchTool/btt_user_variables.plist

There are frequent updates for this application so without #1581 wildcard support this will break again soon.

Of note, the symbolic link for the file

Library/Application Support/BetterTouchTool/btt_user_variables.plist

is troublesome, and makes the whole thing a bit flakey:

• The backup needs to be made with BetterTouchTool closed, otherwise on restore BTT will start in a 'disabled' state; this can be fixed by opening the configuration window and clicking an enable button.
• When BTT is closed the first time, it writes out the btt_user_variables.plist and breaks the symbolic link, so the file becomes local. This is a good thing, otherwise multiple instances will be writing to the cloud file and it pops up an error requester.

Nope, still getting the error requester: 'Could not merge changes' when multiple running instances link to the configuration files; not certain that this can be supported.
