Code Review
This pull request documents the deprecation of the gemini-cli formula in homebrew-core. It updates the installation instructions in README.md and docs/get-started/installation.mdx to warn users and suggest migrating to npm. Additionally, it updates the CLI's internal installation utility and its corresponding unit tests to output a deprecation warning and migration message when Homebrew is detected as the package manager. There are no review comments, so I have no feedback to provide.
