Fix update checks for Nexus mods

Update checks no longer work against Nexus, since their API recently started returning null for all requests.

This seems to be a change on their end; it happens with the latest Nexus user agent too (currently Nexus Client v0.64.2). I sent a message to their lead dev on Discord for more info.

Temporarily switched the backend to scrape the Nexus Mods website, until I hear back about the API.

This is still happening and the Nexus contact hasn't replied, so this seems to be the new normal.

Successful checks are still cached for an hour, but failed checks are now cached for only 5 minutes to mitigate unreliable Nexus checks. That will have to do until they release their Vortex API.
