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.
