chore: drop homebrew distribution

The homebrew-tap repo was never created and maintaining a
separate tap for a small tool adds release-pipeline surface
for no real benefit (install.sh and go install cover macos
already). Removed from:

- README.md install section
- .goreleaser.yaml brews block + the release header that
  advertised the brew one-liner
- .github/workflows/release.yml env export for
  HOMEBREW_TAP_TOKEN (no longer consumed)

No other surfaces referenced it. Installers (install.sh /
install.ps1) never mentioned brew.
