- Remove a bunch of non-actionable/unnecessary noise in GitHub Actions
CI.
- Limit number of threads used to generate analytics API data to avoid
reproducible failures producing errors and requiring retries.
- Move to Debian Old Stable for testing non-system `glibc`.
- Remove unneeded core taps/updates.
- Improve naming of CI jobs to clarify purpose i.e. we're testing
things work on Linux, not Ubuntu specifically.
- Remove dedicated non-online/non-generic Linux `brew tests` jobs from
3 to 1.

Instead of repeatedly outputting the same identical messages across
multiple packages and repeating them all for every package after they
were all installed: just output the identical messages in the final
caveats output instead.
This was more painful that I expected but will allow `brew bundle sh`
and `brew sh` to use the user's configuration but use our custom prompt
for Bash and ZSH.
Add a new `brew mcp-server` command for a Model Context Protocol (MCP)
server for Homebrew. This integrates with AI/LLM tools like Claude,
Claude Code and Cursor.
It currently supports the calls needed/used by the MCP Inspector and
Cursor (where I've tested it).
It provides as `tools` the subcommands output by `brew help` but should
be fairly straightforward to add more in future.
It is implemented in a slightly strange way (a standalone Ruby command
called from a shell command) as MCP servers need a faster startup time
than a normal Homebrew Ruby command allows and fail if they don't get
it.
There are a few Ruby libraries available but, given how relatively
simplistic the implementation is, it didn't feel worthwhile to use and
vendor them.
Let's move this from `bin/brew` to make things like e.g. `brew --prefix`
or `brew shellenv` not reset the sudo timestamp.
This is still in a place that ensures that e.g. no untrusted formula or
tap code has been run yet so should have no security implications but
provide mild usability improvements.
The flag used to work well, but at some point started to run more and
more git actions. We use this to update formula and casks in other
homebrew taps, and it works well except for this issue.
