fix: set correct INSTALL_DIR for brew installation
fixes #824, #1190, #1194, #1237, #1279
On macOS, when you install fnm using Homebrew, the installation directory ends up being something like /usr/local/opt/fnm or /opt/homebrew/opt/fnm instead of $HOME/.fnm, $XDG_DATA_HOME/fnm, $HOME/Library/Application Support/fnm.
I updated INSTALL_DIR to match the correct location for Homebrew installations. Also, since Homebrew takes care of the PATH automatically, export PATH step is removed.

<3 I've literally just sorted this out in my own system when the readme instructions didn't work.
If you just install using brew install fnm (which the install script is doing) no additional config is required other then adding something like
eval "$(fnm env --use-on-cd --version-file-strategy=recursive)"
to your .zshrc
as brew automatically adds
eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"
to your .zprofile which adds /opt/homebrew/bin to your path. and by installing fnm, brew adds a symlink to the correct binary already
👋 @Schniz looks like this PR and https://github.com/Schniz/fnm/pull/1414 both attempt to fix this issue, do you think one of them could be merged soon? Fresh installs following the instructions at https://nodejs.org/en/download still seem to fail on MacOS due to these bugs.
