+Fix the way Salt tries to get the Homebrew's prefix
+
+The first attempt to get the Homebrew's prefix is to look for
+the `HOMEBREW_PREFIX` environment variable. If it's not set, then
+Salt tries to get the prefix from the `brew` command. However, the
+`brew` command can failed. So a last attempt is made to get the
+prefix by guessing the installation path.
