Install ldid with brew

[0x2b3bfa0]

Not sure if it's better to do this or just keep the previous code and git checkout a23f0faadd29ec00a6b7fb2498c3d15af15a7100 to make sure we're running the code we want... until somebody manages to break SHA1DC. 😅

so just wait for conda-forge/ldid-feedstock#7 to be safe then?

@dacbd, Homebrew/homebrew-core#112702 won the brew & conda race; should we use it?

[0x2b3bfa0]

Note that brew requires a workaround (actions/runner-images#6283) to run because GitHub was feeling trigger-happy and broke it.

steps:
- run: for path in /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/{s,}bin; do echo $path; done >> $GITHUB_PATH
- run: brew install ldid

You can also use the setup-homebrew action, with something like

    steps:
      - name: Set up Homebrew
        id: set-up-homebrew
        uses: Homebrew/actions/setup-homebrew@29b2973f18e5aca5443f4b3d87f68eda7a27b22b

but feels weird to use homebrew for not mac things... do we care, should we revisit this after a conda update?

It's indeed unusual, but “linuxbrew” is handy. I use it on my personal projects to install Hashicorp Packer on GitHub Actions with a single line. 🤷🏼‍♂️

should we revisit this after a conda update?

We could, if conda feels better for “not-scientific-Python things” 😈

Thanks for all your help with Homebrew/homebrew-core#112702, @carlocab!
