add dependencies for Homebrew formulae #2305

uses new DSL key depends_on_brew.

Pursuant to #1992 and relevant to discussion in #2264, it was the request of @phinze on IRC not to add depends_on stanzas to brew-cask.rb, but to defer dependencies until install-time for individual Casks.

This means adding to the DSL so we can specify which Casks have dependencies. I have chosen the key depends_on_brew to leave room for specifying dependencies between Casks at a later time. Homebrew will handle the dependency chain if the given dependency has dependencies of its own within Homebrew.

I'm not familiar with the test suite at this point. I wouldn't mind some help/pointers on tests for some of my PRs. For this particular case, homebrew's own test suite already has good coverage of the principal functionality.

This looks good and I'm for the idea. Does it make more sense to call it depends_on_formula since that more specifically refers to the domain concept inside homebrew? I could see the argument for going hyper-verbose with depends_on_homebrew_formula, but since we're already inside the "homebrew universe" the former seems like enough.

Though if you like brew better I don't feel too strongly. 🌠

I'm glad you like this idea, as I want to move forward with new containers, and #1992 was a dead end. depends_on_formula is obviously better -- I just pushed an amended commit.

However, please don't merge until I add some tests.

I'm giving up on additional tests for now and retreating to my earlier statement that Homebrew provides sufficient coverage here. I end up having to mock Homebrew and then (poorly) duplicating Homebrew's own testing.

I will revisit the testing issues when implementing depends_on_cask, at which time I will perhaps be smarter.

So, this is ready to go in.
