metal-cli brew requires golang

[e-minguez]

What problem are you facing?

When installing metal-cli via brew it downloads golang as a requisite, however metal-cli is already a binary package, there is no need to build it.

Currently:

❯ brew tap equinix/homebrew-tap
brew install metal-cli

Disable this behaviour by setting HOMEBREW_NO_INSTALL_CLEANUP.
Hide these hints with HOMEBREW_NO_ENV_HINTS (see `man brew`).

I uninstalled them (both metal-cli and golang), modified the tap locally to disable the requisite and it works...

So I guess you can remove the dependency? https://github.com/equinix/metal-cli/blob/main/.goreleaser.yml#L47-L49

How could the Equinix Metal CLI help solve this problem?

Modifying the brew tap to disable the golang requisite as the artifact is already a binary.
