FriCAS was distributed on macOS via CI-built unsigned dmg
files.  It's getting more and more difficult to install
unsigned dmg on recent macOS releases, especially on ARM
chips, I presume.

FriCAS is essentially a command line utility plus the
HyperDoc and graphics components, which requires X11,
which is increasingly rarely installed on recent macOS
I presume.   So I believe homebrew should be the perfect
way to distribute FriCAS on macOS.

I took some effort to add fricas to homebrew:
https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/205760

Since I don't have macOS available right now, especially macOS
on ARM chips, I'm asking for macOS users to test fricas
installed from homebrew.

You can report the following information:
1. OS version and CPU model (amr64 or amd64)
2. whether fricas get installed successfully
3. whether fricas runs successfully
4. If you have X11 server installed, report whether
HyperDoc and graphics works properly

If fricas via homebrew works successfully, I'll use this
as the distribution method instead of the unsigned dmg
method for future release. (But unsigned dmg will still
be available in CI artifices.)
