Add more homebrew system package information, including packages without spkg-configure.m4

[mkoeppe]

Along the same lines as #30859 for Debian,
this is for several purposes:

• test proper isolation of our build (i.e., the presence of unused system packages does not break our build) using tox -e ...-maximal
• reveal errors such as Allow using arb, flint and ntl from Homebrew #30745 (homebrew: Errors when homebrew's ntl, flint, or ecl are installed in /usr/local), homebrew: Unused packages (singular, pari, ...) in /usr/local leak into build when using homebrew's python3 #31132
• test sagelib without Sage-the-distribution (similar to Add SAGE_ROOT/environment.yml for "conda env create -f". #28745/Fixes for the conda-for-Sage-developers installation method, add GH Actions workflow #30845 for conda)
• prepare for tickets that will add spkg-configure.m4

(see also #29146)

(from #30371)

Related:

• Meta-ticket: spkg-configure: Try to use as many system packages as possible #27330: Meta-ticket: Use all system packages we can
• System package information for MacPorts #30504: Add MacPorts package information

This ticket does not cover Homebrew packages available via taps.

Interested users can install GAP, Macaulay2 and Polymake as follows:

$ brew tap gap-system/gap
$ brew install gap

$ brew tap macaulay2/tap
$ brew install macaulay2

$ brew tap apaffenholz/polymake
$ brew install polymake

Depends on #29124

Also available from Macaulay2 taps: fflas-ffpack, frobby, gfan, givaro.

However they break building Sage, see

• The Homebrew tap Macaulay2/tap/fflas-ffpack prevents Sage from building Macaulay2/homebrew-tap#68

Also available from GAP tap: gap

• https://github.com/gap-system/homebrew-gap

We don't really have a mechanism yet to ask users to use a tap - I would need that for polymake too - #31527

The homebrew-maximal test environment could install extra packages from taps anyway.

Replying to @slel:

The homebrew-maximal test environment could install extra packages from taps anyway.

Well, it's easy to implement in build/bin/sage-print-system-package-command - in order to give both advice for users and set up the -maximal environment. I think I'll implement this in the polymake ticket.

The mactex bottle is giving me an error when I do tox -e local-homebrew-macos-maximal -- config.status.

Let's remove build/pkgs/texlive/distros/homebrew.txt and revisit this in #31529.

With these changes, it goes through and reports:

    hint: installing the following system packages, if not
    already present, is recommended and may avoid having to
    build them (though some may have to be built anyway):

      $ brew install ffmpeg imagemagick texinfo cddlib
