Fix Old AssetStore Links (GreaseMonkey script)

If you happen to browse old forum messages, and try to click those old asset store links, they end up in some 404 error page:
example post https://forum.unity.com/threads/fps-game-template-vol-1.465743/#post-3029391

Here’s Firefox Greasemonkey plugin script to fix those links:

Fixed link is appended on the page! Time saved from searching the asset.
Could modify the script to directly open new url instead.

*For some really strange reason, Unity is not interested to fix that with automatic redirect into new store.. (it has been reported and requested over the years, but they just ignore it), it would literally take less than 30 minutes to fix, and would save time from every user clicking those links.
(now you need to go manually into new store, search the package, try to find correct one..)
