Publish on homebrew

Is your feature request related to a problem?

I would like to be able to install ArkScript on my Mac through homebrew, instead of cloning the project, building it and updating my PATH and stuff.

Describe the solution you would like

It would be nice to be able to do brew install arkscript. Even better if we can choose what version to install, eg brew install [email protected].

Is it a big modification to the language? Leave it if you don't know

  • [ ] Breaking change
  • [ ] Compiler/syntax modifications
  • [ ] Runtime modifications (standard library, modules, packages...)

In some way it is related to #224 (having homebrew to install ArkScript and an auto updater might be conflicting: you install the project with one and update it with the other) and #188 (if we publish the project on homebrew, an auto updater might not be needed?).

I feel like the way to go would be to drop the auto updater idea: otherwise we would have to be able to uninstall a brew installed ArkScript with the AU and install a new one through the AU, which is counter intuitive (why use one tool to install and another to update?)
