Chef::Provider::Package::Homebrew#candidate_version

Packages (formula) available to install should have a
"stable" version, per the Homebrew project's acceptable
formula documentation, so we will rely on that being the
case. Older implementations of this provider in the homebrew
cookbook would fall back to +brew_info['version']+, but the
schema has changed, and homebrew is a constantly rolling
forward project.
