`gitoxide` has been available in homebrew-core since May 2023, where each release is packaged automatically soon after it's published, but the installation instructions never mentioned it: they only covered `cargo binstall`, two Linux distributions, and building from source. Add a Homebrew section so macOS (and GNU/Linux) users can install the `gix` and `ein` binaries with `brew install gitoxide`. The formula was added to homebrew-core in Homebrew/homebrew-core#129719.

gitoxide, we just hadn't mentioned it in any documentation. This fixes that, mentioning it in the section of the readme that mentions other downstream distributions.The diff and commit message here are generated with Claude Code. I reviewed them carefully before opening this PR, including verifying the specific claims. (The text of this PR description is not LLM-generated.)
