install: check for --only-dependencies flag earlier

Browse Source 
Currently, doing `brew install --only-dependencies` with an unlinked
formula does nothing and returns a message saying the formula is already
installed but just not linked.

I think that we should just install the dependencies as requested here
instead of complaining that the formula isn't linked.

Before:

    ❯ brew unlink adplug
    Unlinking /usr/local/Cellar/adplug/2.3.3... 8 symlinks removed.
    ❯ brew install --only-dependencies adplug
    Warning: adplug 2.3.3 is already installed, it's just not linked.
    To link this version, run:
      brew link adplug

After:

    ❯ brew install --only-dependencies adplug
    ==> Fetching dependencies for adplug: libbinio
    ==> Fetching libbinio
    ==> Downloading https://ghcr.io/v2/homebrew/core/libbinio/manifests/1.5

See Homebrew/homebrew-core#127133 for additional context.
