This came up recently where an outdated formula definition
caused the program to crash with an ambiguous message when
a user wanted to upgrade a cask instead. Catching these errors
allows them to get handled later on improving error messages
and defaults. Now if the only formula with the given name is
invalid it will default to using the cask unless --formula is
specified.

Before we used to evaluate all named arguments as local paths
first. This means that the following could be a name conflict.
$ brew edit src
If there was a local file or directory named src, it would default
to that. Otherwise it would search for a formula/cask with the
same name and return that.
Now it will only default to the local path if the named argument
starts or ends with a slash ('/') or includes a period ('.').
This means that in the event of a name clash with a normal package
name it will default to the package instead of the local file.
It also fixes an edge case where the following would be interpreted
as a tap name.
$ brew edit /src
- Load paths with no API when needed (e.g. for `brew edit`)
- Use no API mode for `brew log` as it's needed there
- Define sharding format for homebrew-cask and homebrew-core inside
`Tap` methods
- Create new formulae/casks in location defined by these `Tap` methods
- Fix a bug in Formulary that made sharded formulae lookup less
efficient (and possibly broke it for core and some API usage)
- Fix various other hardcoded Formula/Cask directory assumptions

When casks are unreadable (e.g. have invalid syntax, the cask file
cannot be found) then it's not been possible to uninstall them, list
them or perform any operation which iterates through all casks.
Handle these various cases by falling back to creating a `Cask::Cask`
object using just the name/token and latest installed version on disk.
This provides enough functionality to be able to verbosely list these
casks, not error on listing and, most importantly, uninstall/reinstall
them.
Fixes https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/issues/62223
Add a `--print-path` flag to `brew edit`, in order to print the source `.rb`
file of both casks and formulae. In order to prevent faulty reporting, `brew
formula $SOME_CASK` will now error out if a cask matches, but a formula does
not.
