macOS: make Homebrew use configurable
On macOS we opportunistically use Homebrew-installed versions of gettext(3) and msgfmt(1). Make that behavior configurable by providing make variables to disable Homebrew usage (NO_HOMEBREW) and to allow using a non-default installation location (HOMEBREW_PREFIX). Include and link only the gettext keg via the symlink opt/gettext pointing to its installed version instead of using the Homebrew prefix. This is simpler and prevents accidentally including other libraries.
