Chef::Provider::Package::Homebrew#brew_info

We implement a querying method that returns the JSON-as-Hash
data for a formula per the Homebrew documentation. Previous
implementations of this provider in the homebrew cookbook
performed a bit of magic with the load path to get this
information, but that is not any more robust than using the
command-line interface that returns the same thing.
