Description of Change

We had a recent macOS build that failed in CI due to a bug in Homebrew: https://github.com/electron/electron/actions/runs/25497330347

This appears to be fixed in a newer version of Homebrew (5.1.10) via this commit: Homebrew/brew@1c8cbf3 (Homebrew/brew#22137)

However, it seems we currently just use whatever version of Homebrew is on our runners. For better control, we might be better served pinning the Homebrew version ourselves and installing it via their published .pkg files.
