Wez Furlong 8418495dbd brew tap is now a Cask on macOS
This updates the docs to reflect the changes in
https://github.com/wez/homebrew-wezterm/pull/2 and updates the
automation to use the cask as the template, and to update and commit the
task version of the formula.

Thanks @laggardkernel!

## Installing on macOS
The CI system builds the package on macOS Big Sur and should run on systems as
"old" as Mojave. It may run on earlier versions of macOS, but that has not
been tested.
Starting with version 20210203-095643-70a364eb, WezTerm is a Universal binary
with support for both Apple Silicon and Intel hardware.
