Rather than relying on a `HOMEBREW_FORCE_BOTTLE` variable (which ends
up doing silly things like forcing bottle usage even when options are
provided) instead handle this at the `or_later` bottle detection
level so on prerelease versions of macOS any bottle looks like an
`or_later` bottle (unless various environment variables are set).
Fixes issues noted in:

This does the equivalent of always passing `--force-bottle`. This will
be enabled by default on Mojave to allow people to avoid building
everything from source until our porting and bottling is a bit further
along.
Because of this messing with the user's path:

brew uses /usr/bin/git over brewed git, even when the former is
problematically old.
There may also be other reasons a user prefers to use brewed git.
There was already a HOMEBREW_FORCE_BREWED_CURL option and a
HOMEBREW_SYSTEM_CURL_TOO_OLD check to set it. This mostly copies those
to implement HOMEBREW_FORCE_BREWED_GIT & HOMEBREW_SYSTEM_GIT_TOO_OLD.

- Document ilovezfs as the official lead maintainer of
Homebrew/homebrew-core. This is a role he's been doing unofficially
(and brilliantly) for a while and explicit documentation of power
structures makes it easier for non-Homebrew-maintainers to understand.
- Document the contents of some of Homebrew's subdirectories for people
clicking around in the GitHub UI looking to contribute.
- Remove update bug mention from README. Enough time has passed that we
can remove this disappointment.
- only document HOMEBREW_* variables in the manpage (although still
read from all the original environment variables).
- resort manpage environment variables in alphabetical order
- check the original path for trailing slashes
These are the ones that are auto-installed without tapping and it makes
sense to make them more prominent in our documentation as we've
offloaded various functionality over the years to each of them.
Not quite a mass replacement as I've used OS X and Mac OS X where
describing specific older versions and added compatibility methods
for things in the DSL.
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.

* 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
Replace `homebrew` with `brew`, `homebrew-core`, or `legacy-homebrew`
depending on context.
Closes#175.

This implies that `--version` is treated in most places like a regular
command, e.g. being suggested in shell completion. Also fix the help
text that claimed output goes to standard error, while it actually goes
to standard output.
