Provide instructions for running on Mac

[thesurlydev]

So far I've run into two separate issues trying to run version 2.7 on Mac:

1. when attempting to start via './sirius.sh start', an error related to readlink occurs. I resolved this by overriding with a version from 'brew install coreutils'.
2. attempting to run with Java 7 fails.

Please support running on Mac or at least mention the above in your documentation to save others time.

Can you elaborate on the error concerning readlink?

I got coreutils: stable 8.23 (bottled), HEAD running Yosemite without any
issues. Did you already upgrade to El Cpaitan?

We'll add a hint that Java 8 is required...

Before installing coreutils via homebrew, I got:

readlink: illegal option -- f
usage: readlink [-n] [file ...]

After installing coreutils, I had to symlink greadlink (from coreutils).

Check that you have the latest jdk and jre.
I have successfully executed s3ninja on OSX El Capitan without any problem.

This is my java -version output, in case it helps you:
