Clean out brew

See original GitHub issue

We are running into some cases where brew is installing stuff that competes with our packages. We should start cleaning this stuff out so we don’t need workarounds. For instance, brew provides its own gmp, which clashes with the one we distribute. See this thread for an example of handling this problem and this issue caused by the brew gmp. Here is some code that I wrote, which would help purge brew.

Here is a list that @ocefpaf compiled of things that brew installed.

So, last discussion with @msarahan on this point was that gfortran/libgfortran will need to be packaged for Mac.
