Remove homebrew from docs to set up runner on MacOS

Fiona Neill requested to merge fneill-remove-homebrew-from-runner-docs into main

What does this MR do?

The documentation for setting up a MacOS GitLab Runner provides Homebrew as an installation method, which is inconsistent with the statement that the binary is the official method for installing GitLab Runner.

This removes reference to using homebrew in the following pages:

Before: https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/install/osx.html#homebrew-installation-alternative

After: https://main-runner-4227.docs.gitlab-review.app/runner/install/osx.html

Author's checklist

If you are a GitLab team member and only adding documentation, do not add any of the following labels:

  • ~"frontend"
  • ~"backend"
  • ~"type::bug"
  • ~"database"

These labels cause the MR to be added to code verification QA issues.

Reviewer's checklist

Documentation-related MRs should be reviewed by a Technical Writer for a non-blocking review, based on Documentation Guidelines and the Style Guide.

If you aren't sure which tech writer to ask, use roulette or ask in the #docs Slack channel.

  • If the content requires it, ensure the information is reviewed by a subject matter expert.
  • Technical writer review items:
    • Ensure docs metadata is present and up-to-date.
    • Ensure the appropriate labels are added to this MR.
    • Ensure a release milestone is set.
    • If relevant to this MR, ensure content topic type principles are in use, including:
      • The headings should be something you'd do a Google search for. Instead of Default behavior, say something like Default behavior when you close an issue.
      • The headings (other than the page title) should be active. Instead of Configuring GDK, say something like Configure GDK.
      • Any task steps should be written as a numbered list.
      • If the content still needs to be edited for topic types, you can create a follow-up issue with the docs-technical-debt label.
  • Review by assigned maintainer, who can always request/require the above reviews. Maintainer's review can occur before or after a technical writer review.
