homebrew: Add Homebrew tap support

[cgwalters]

This adds a Homebrew formula for bcvk, addressing issue #100.

The formula supports both stable releases and HEAD installations. Users can install with:
brew install bootc-dev/bcvk/bcvk

Closes: #100

Code Review

This pull request introduces Homebrew support for bcvk, which is a valuable addition for easier installation on Linux. The Homebrew formula is well-crafted and follows current best practices, and the accompanying documentation changes are clear and helpful. My review includes one suggestion to add a livecheck block to the formula, which will improve its long-term maintainability by enabling automatic version updates.

This is a well-written Homebrew formula. To improve its long-term maintainability, I suggest adding a livecheck block. This allows Homebrew's infrastructure to automatically detect new releases of bcvk and open pull requests to update the formula, ensuring users get timely updates.

  head "https://github.com/bootc-dev/bcvk.git", branch: "main"

  livecheck do
    url :stable
    strategy :github_latest
  end

I only very superficially tested this locally (didn't test the GHA flow before this push but it should cover the basics).

I think this needs to be on a separate repository with the homebrew-bcvk name, similar to what is done with the Homebrew package for podman-bootc 😞

I made a repository for this, could it be cloned or moved into the bootc-dev org? We could make it into a general tap if podman-bootc would like it or something:

OK so we can have multiple taps in a single git repo? If so let's just call it homebrew then? As far as transferring it requires a bit of a complex dance, it was simpler to fork https://github.com/bootc-dev/homebrew-bcvk - that OK?

brew has some magic when the repo is on github and is named homebrew-something, you’d lose that with just homebrew as the repo name, see https://docs.brew.sh/Taps#repository-naming-conventions-and-assumptions

You can have multiple formulas (~packages) in the same git repo (~tap)

And thanks for working on this!

As far as homebrew on Linux...I was initially primed to like it, but after looking at some of the implementation choices (ruby code not a declarative format, /home/linuxbrew feels pretty weird as a hardcoded choice) I cooled on it a bit. But...yeah it does fill a niche.

Though I think we should support https://crates.io/crates/cargo-binstall too.
