Add Linuxbrew (Homebrew) install option for git-rain on Linux

[bschellenberger2600]

Summary

git-fire already offered a Linux Homebrew (Linuxbrew) method in the install picker. git-rain did not. This change adds the same tap/install path for Linux users choosing git-rain.

Changes

• Include brew in the ordered Linux method list for git-rain (after deb/rpm reordering, before manual).
• Add rainLinuxBrew() and wire methodId === 'brew' in resolveCommand.

Verification

• npm install and npm run build succeed locally.

Notes

Main was already up to date with origin/main at task start.

  

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • Introduced Linux Homebrew installation support for git-rain package resolution.

• Improvements

  • Updated the default Linux installer method prioritization to better serve diverse installation scenarios and user preferences, now favoring standard package managers over manual installation paths.

🐰 A brew of Linux magic unfolds,
Homebrew now finds its rightful place,
With methods reordered, the installer's mold,
Runs swift and smooth at its own pace! ✨
