Add a `brew update --force` to side-step all of the clever optimisations
we have to detect if an update is unnecessary. That means if those
optimisations go wrong in future we can tell people just to run this
single command.
This would have been a useful workaround for the issue fixed in 985c672.
Rather than nudge people to run `--strict` and then ignore some of the
results sometimes (e.g. GitHub repository notability) instead add a
dedicated `--new-formula` option that implies this is a one-time
advisory check.
If set, this environment variable instructs Homebrew to use the given URL as a
download mirror (e.g. an Artifactory instance) for bottles and binaries.
Closes#387.

* audit.rb: require https for ftpmirror.gnu.org
The situation is similar to other mirror redirectors: the server
may subsequently redirect to an insecure url. But it's a step.
* manpage: update HOMEBREW_NO_INSECURE_REDIRECT section
Amends 132ada2b0ebb3751c0f8f42ca83bb257b55a50fd until we properly figure
out a way of documenting built-in aliases (or not doing that) across all
commands that currently have aliases. See #270 for full discussion.
* Include --desc in brew search help text.
* Update brew search --desc text in README.
* Remove mention of alias in brew search help text to avoid any
confusion.
`brew deps` has three different modes of operation that were not easy to
infer from the existing documentation. Split the help text into three
parts to make this clearer. This also improves on the confusion when
options were silently ignored because they don't apply to a certain mode
of operation. Those are:
1. List the shared dependencies (either intersection or union) of
explicitly named formulae with options for traversal depth/order.
2. Output separate trees of explicitly listed or all installed formulae.
3. List all available/installed formulae and their direct dependencies
with one line per formula formatted as `<formula>: <dependencies>`.

Replace `homebrew` with `brew`, `homebrew-core`, or `legacy-homebrew`
depending on context.

This way analytics related settings and parameters (currently
analyticsdisabled, analyticsmessage and analyticsuuid) are all kept in
the same place.
Note that in this commit we offer a path of migration: if
~/.homebrew_analytics_user_uuid already exists, read the UUID from it,
write to homebrew.analyticsuuid, and remove it.
See more detailed discussions in #145.
Closes#162.

* add Language::Node helper module
This adds a language module for Node module based formulas.
It contains the 2 public methods `std_npm_install_args(libexec)` and
`local_npm_install_args`:
* `std_npm_install_args` is intended to be used in formulas for
standard node modules and returns `npm install` args for a global
style module installation to libexec.
* `local_npm_install_args` is for formulas, in which the `npm install`
step is only one of multiple parts of the installation process and
returns `npm install` args for a default local installation in place.
Both methods have in common, that they are
* making sure that a working copy of npm and node-gyp from node's
libexec is prepended to the PATH (to not rely of a user managed npm)
* seting the npm cache to HOMEBREW_CACHE/npm, which fixes issues caused
by overriding $HOME resulting in long install times + high disk usage
(see https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/pull/37#issuecomment-208840366)
* audit: update npm install check for Language::Node
* cleanup: remove npm_cache too
* doc: add Node-for-Formula-Authors.md
Provide a single command that can be run to disable analytics, run it if
`HOMEBREW_NO_ANALYTICS` is ever set and remove the user UUID file in
that case too.

Make sure that users are notified on the first run of `brew update`
after we enabled analytics about how it works and how to opt-out. This
will be shown to all users who have not already seen this message from
`brew update` or through a new Homebrew installation.
